Interesting fact
The 1 Goldgulden coin from the Duchy of Münsterberg-Oels (Silesia) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Albert and Charles I, who were dukes of Münsterberg-Oels from 1510 to 1512. This was a period of significant economic growth and trade, and the coin was likely used to facilitate transactions and commerce in the region. Additionally, the fact that the coin was made of gold (.986) and weighed 3.5 grams suggests that it was a valuable and highly sought-after currency at the time.
