Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in the late 14th century, a period marked by the rise of city-states and the decline of feudalism. The Archbishopric of Mainz, a powerful ecclesiastical state in Germany, was at the center of this change, and the coin reflects the shifting economic and political landscape of the time.
