Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "G" and "W" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Gottfried" and "Würzburg." This subtle detail highlights the personal connection between the coin's namesake, John Gottfried II, and the region it was issued in.
