Interesting fact
The 1 Goldgulden coin from the Duchy of Cleves, issued during the reign of John II (1501-1502), is an interesting piece of history because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin's gold content and its relatively small weight of 3.32 grams make it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of European currency.
