Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden (Coronation) 1562 from Free imperial city of Frankfurt (German States) is that it was minted to commemorate the coronation of Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor, who was crowned on September 24, 1562. The coin's design features an image of Maximilian II on one side and the Frankfurt coat of arms on the other. The coin's mintage was limited, and it is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
