Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz is that it features an image of Adolphus I of Nassau, who was a powerful German prince and archbishop during the 14th century. Despite being a religious leader, Adolphus was known for his military campaigns and political maneuvering, which helped to expand the power and influence of the Archbishopric of Mainz. The coin's design, which includes Adolphus' image and the coat of arms of the Archbishopric, reflects the close relationship between the church and the state during this time period.
