Comment
Udenheim (Philippsburg) mintInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Adolph I of Nassau, who was the Archbishop of Mainz from 1381 to 1386. This period saw the rise of city-states and the decline of feudalism, and the coinage of the time reflects this shift in power dynamics. The 1 Goldgulden coin, made of gold, was a symbol of the wealth and influence of the Archbishopric of Mainz and was likely used for large transactions and trade.
