Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden 1611 coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt is that 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 Matthias, who was instrumental in reforming the imperial coinage system and introducing the taler, a silver coin that became the standard currency across the German states. The Goldgulden, which was equivalent to 240 silver groschen, was a significant denomination at the time and reflected the growing wealth and influence of the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt.
