Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin's design to signify the coin's value and to prevent counterfeiting. The hole was created by drilling a small hole in the die used to strike the coin, and it can be seen on many of the coins produced during this time period. This feature makes the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg stand out from other coins of the time and adds to its unique historical significance.
