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 economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick III of Saarwerden, who was the Archbishop of Cologne from 1380 to 1417. This period saw the rise of city-states and the growth of trade and commerce, which led to an increased demand for coinage. The 1 Goldgulden coin was likely used for large transactions and was a symbol of the wealth and power of the Archbishopric of Cologne.
