Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Holy Roman Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Charles V, who was the first king to unite the crowns of Castile, Aragon, and Germany, making him the first king of Spain and the Holy Roman Emperor. This coin was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Europe, and its production was likely a symbol of the power and influence of the Holy Roman Empire.
