Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Danish duchies of Schleswig and Holstein is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was introduced in 1533, just a few years after the Protestant Reformation had swept through Europe, leading to significant religious and political upheaval in the German states. Additionally, the coin was minted during the reign of Christian III, who was a powerful and influential king who ruled Denmark and Norway from 1534 to 1559. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex history and cultural exchange that took place in Europe during this time period.
