Interesting fact
The 1 Goldgulden coin from the Duchy of Bavaria, issued in 1506 during the reign of Albert IV, is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was made of .900 gold, which means it was composed of 90% gold and 10% other metals. This high gold content made it a valuable and sought-after coin during its time. Additionally, the coin weighed 3.27 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin of its size and denomination. These factors combined made the 1 Goldgulden coin a symbol of wealth and prosperity in the German States during the early 16th century.
