Interesting fact
The 1 Goldgulden coin from the Free Imperial City of Aachen (German States) made of Gold weighing 3.24g is interesting because it was minted during a time when the city was an important center of trade and commerce in Europe. Aachen was a free imperial city, meaning it was a self-governing city within the Holy Roman Empire, and it was known for its textile production, wool trade, and location along the important trade route between Flanders and Italy. The coin's gold content and intricate design reflect the city's wealth and economic influence during this time.
