Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Archbishopric of Cologne is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick III of Saarwerden, who was the Archbishop of Cologne from 1409 to 1410. This was a period of significant upheaval in the region, as the Holy Roman Empire was in decline and the German states were struggling for power and independence. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the enduring legacy of the Archbishopric of Cologne.
