Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Jakob of Liebenstein, who was the Archbishop of Mainz from 1505 to 1508. This was a period of rapid inflation and economic instability, and the coin's value was likely affected by these economic forces. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item today, with its gold content and historical significance making it a prized addition to any collection.
