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 issued by Frederick I, who was the King of Denmark and Norway from 1523 to 1533. During his reign, he implemented a number of economic reforms, including the introduction of a new coinage system, which helped to stabilize the economy and promote trade in the region. The 1 Goldgulden coin was a key part of this new system, and it remained in circulation for many years, becoming a popular and trusted form of currency among merchants and traders.
