This specimen was lot 1936 in Künker sale 352 (Osnabruck, Germany, September 2021), where it sold for €6,000 (about US$8,350 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted, <blockquote>"''JÜLICH-KLEVE-BERG, JÜLICH-BERG, HERZOGTUM, Johann Wilhelm II. 1679-1716. Dukat 1711, Düsseldorf, auf das Vikariat. Kopf r.//Doppeladler, auf der Brust zwei Wappenschilde, darüber Krone. GOLD. RR Winz. Kratzer, vorzüglich-Stempelglanz. Erworben 1940 bei der Firma Adolph Hess Nachf. Frankfurt am Main.'' ([[Germany]], [[German States, Julich-Berg|duchy of Julich-Berg]], John William II, 1679-1716, ducat of 1711, Dusseldorf mint, on his vicariat. Obverse: bust right; reverse: doubled headed eagle with arms on its breast, crown above. Rare, minor scratches, extremely fine to uncirculated. Bought from Adolph Hess in 1940.)

''Johann Wilhelm übernahm in Jülich-Berg bereits 1679 die Regierung von seinem Vater Philipp Wilhelm, der als pfälzischer Kurfürst bis zu seinem Tod 1690 regierte. Nach dem Regierungsantritt in der Pfalz war Johann Wilhelm in den Pfälzer und in den Spanischen Erbfolgekrieg verwickelt. Als entschiedener Förderer der Gegenreformation schuf er sich vor allem unter den protestantischen Reichsfürsten zahlreiche Feinde. In seinem eigenen Land machte sich "Jan Wellem", wie der Kurfürst im Volksmund in Jülich-Berg genannt wurde, u. a. durch die Einrichtung einer Kunstsammlung in der Residenz Düsseldorf, durch den Neubau der Heidelberger Universität und den Wiederaufbau Mannheims verdient. Es war ihm eine besondere Ehre, nach dem Tod Josephs I. das Reichsvikariat zu führen. Er feierte dieses Amt mit mehreren Münzen und Medaillen wie dem vorliegenden hübschen Dukaten, der ein aussagekräftiges Dokument der deutschen Verfassungsgeschichte ist.'' (Johann Wilhelm took over the government in Jülich-Berg in 1679 from his father Philipp Wilhelm, who ruled as Elector of the Palatinate until his death in 1690. After taking office in the Palatinate, Johann Wilhelm was involved in the Palatinate and the War of the Spanish Succession. As a determined promoter of the Counter Reformation, he created numerous enemies, especially among the Protestant imperial princes. In his own country, "Jan Wellem", as the elector was popularly called in Jülich-Berg, made a name for himself, earned by setting up an art collection in the Düsseldorf residence, building the Heidelberg University and rebuilding Mannheim. It was a special honor for him to lead the imperial vicariate after the death of Joseph I. He celebrated this office with several coins and medals such as this pretty ducat, which is a significant document of German constitutional history.)"</blockquote> The native dynasty of dukes, which ruled Julich, Berg, Mark and Cleve, fell extinct in 1609. Brandenburg and Pfalz-Neuburg fought a war over the inheritance and eventually partitioned it, Julich-Berg going to Pfalz-Neuberg, which ruled it until the French Revolution. At the Congress of Vienna, it passed to Prussia. Another rare ducat (KM 147) also exists for 1711.
