Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Archbishopric of Magdeburg is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued by Joachim Frederick of Brandenburg, who was a prominent figure in the Protestant Church and a supporter of the Protestant Reformation. The coin's minting was likely a symbol of the growing power and influence of the Protestant movement in the region.
