Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Archbishopric of Cologne is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Electorate of Cologne, which was a powerful ecclesiastical state in the Holy Roman Empire. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. This design element signifies the coin's origin and connection to the Electorate of Cologne, making it a distinctive and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in German history and coinage.
