Interesting fact
The 1 Goldgulden coin from the City of Cologne (German States) made of Gold weighing 3.27 g 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 (1564-1576), who was instrumental in reforming the imperial coinage system, introducing a new standardized currency that replaced the various local currencies that had been in use until then. The Goldgulden coin was part of this new system and was used widely in trade and commerce throughout the German States. Despite its small size, the coin was made of pure gold, making it a valuable and highly sought-after currency at the time.
