Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Bishopric of Regensburg (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued in 1523, just a few years after Martin Luther's famous 95 Theses, which marked the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. Additionally, the coin was minted during the reign of John III of Pfalz, who was a powerful prince-bishop of the Holy Roman Empire. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact that provides a glimpse into the complex political and religious landscape of 16th-century Europe.
