Interesting fact
The 1 Goldgulden coin from the City of Magdeburg (German States) made of Gold is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian II, who was instrumental in establishing the Imperial Mint and standardizing coinage across the Holy Roman Empire. The Goldgulden was a standard denomination during this period and was widely used in trade and commerce. The fact that it was made of gold, a valuable and highly sought-after metal, further highlights the significance of this coin and the prosperity of the City of Magdeburg during this time.
