Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin featuring Frederick III of Saarwerden is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick III, who was the Archbishop of Cologne from 1371 to 1414. During his reign, the Archbishopric of Cologne was facing financial difficulties, and the minting of gold coins like the 1 Goldgulden was a way for the archbishopric to generate revenue and maintain its economic power. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the people of the German States during this period.
