Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1798, just a few years after the French Revolution, which had a profound impact on the European monetary system. The Goldgulden was a new currency introduced by the Bishopric of Würzburg to replace the previously used Gothalter, and it was intended to be a more stable and reliable form of currency. Despite the challenges of the time, the 1 Goldgulden coin has remained a valuable and sought-after collector's item to this day.
