Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Bishopric of Münster is that it was minted during the reign of Henry III of Schwarzburg, who was a powerful prince-bishop in the German States during the 15th century. Despite being a religious leader, Henry III was known for his military campaigns and political alliances, which helped to increase the wealth and power of the Bishopric of Münster. The coin itself is made of gold (.986) and weighs 3.25 grams, making it a valuable and rare collector's item for numismatists.
