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 Archbishopric on the reverse side, which sets it apart from other coins of the same denomination issued by different German states during that time period.
