Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden 1586 from Free imperial city of Nuremberg (German States) is that it was minted during a time when the city was an important center of trade and commerce in Europe. Nuremberg was a free imperial city, meaning it was not under the control of a local lord or king, but was instead governed by the Holy Roman Emperor. This coin was likely used in trade and commerce throughout the region and may have been handled by merchants and traders from all over Europe.
