Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden 1780 coin from the Abbey of Saint Alban of Mainz is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Joseph II, who was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the Habsburg Empire. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing need for a standardized currency system across the German States, and it reflects the Abbey's influence and power within the region.
