Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Archbishopric of Bremen is that it was minted during the reign of George of Brunswick, who was the last Catholic Archbishop of Bremen before the Protestant Reformation. Despite being minted in the 16th century, the coin still features the traditional Gothic style of architecture and ornamentation, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the region.
