Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin featuring Albert II of Brandenburg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coin was issued during the reign of Albert II, who was the Archbishop of Mainz and the Prince-Elector of the Holy Roman Empire. This was a period of significant religious and political upheaval, with the Protestant Reformation gaining momentum and the Holy Roman Empire facing challenges to its authority. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the enduring power and influence of the Archbishopric of Mainz and the Holy Roman Empire during this time.
