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 gold, which was a rare and valuable metal at the time. The use of gold in coinage was a symbol of wealth and power, and it was only used for high-denomination coins like the Goldgulden. This coin was also used as a means of promoting trade and commerce within the German States, as it was widely accepted as a form of payment. Despite its age, some of these coins have survived the test of time and are now highly sought after by collectors and historians.
