Comment
Mintmaster - Johann HittorffInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Carolin coin is that it was minted during the reign of Clemens August of Bayern, who was the Archbishop of Cologne and a powerful figure in the German States during the 18th century. Despite being made of gold, the coin was widely used in circulation and was considered a standard unit of currency in the region. Its design features an image of Clemens August on one side and the coat of arms of the Archbishopric of Cologne on the other. Today, the 1 Carolin coin is a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and rarity.
