Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg is that it was minted during the reign of Joachim I Nestor, who was the first Hohenzollern Elector of Brandenburg. This coin was issued in 1516 and features an image of Joachim I Nestor on one side and the Brandenburg coat of arms on the other. The coin was made of gold and weighed 3.23 grams. It was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States during that time.
