| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device consisting of a heraldic shield bearing the combined arms of Jülich and Berg, depicted in late Gothic style, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. Small rosette or mullet ornaments appear at intervals flanking the shield in the field. The surrounding legend in uncial Latin characters reads GERARD DE CLIVIS COM MAR, identifying Count Gerhard II as Count and Margrave of Cleves, separated by stops. The coin exhibits the irregular flan and slightly uneven strike characteristic of mid-fifteenth-century hammered silver coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gerhard II ruled Jülich-Berg during a period when the Lower Rhine's monetary economy was deeply disrupted by the proliferation of underweight and debased small silver coins — the so-called "bad money" crisis that prompted repeated imperial and regional coinage ordinances throughout the mid-fifteenth century. His white deniers were part of a broader effort among Rhenish princes to assert local monetary authority against this flood of inferior currency from competing mints.
The duchy's geographic position between Cologne and the Low Countries made it a transit zone for coin circulation, and pieces from Jülich-Berg frequently appear in hoard evidence from the Netherlands dating to this exact period.
