Jungk 38Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Archbishopric of Bremen is that it was minted during the reign of Henry II of Schwarzburg, who was a powerful prince-archbishop in the German States during the 15th century. Despite being a religious leader, Henry II was known for his military campaigns and political maneuvering, which helped to expand the territory and influence of the Archbishopric of Bremen. The coin itself is made of gold and weighs 3.27 grams, making it a valuable and rare artifact from this time period.
