| Obverse description | Octagonal hammered emergency coin (Notgeld) struck during the siege of Jülich in 1610. The central field features a small circular incuse or cartouche bearing the initials 'I R' and the date '1610', denoting the issuing authority. Above the central device, the Roman numeral 'II' indicates the denomination of 2 Thalers. The plain octagonal flan displays the characteristic irregular surfaces typical of hastily produced siege coinage, with no additional decorative border or legend surrounding the central mark. |
