Interesting fact
The 1 Goldgulden coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) has a unique feature - it has a hole in the center, which was a common design element for coins during that time period. This hole was used to thread a cord or chain through, allowing the coin to be worn as a pendant or amulet. This shows that the coin was not only used as a means of currency but also had a cultural or symbolic significance.
