Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden - Maximilian I (Frankfurt) 1511-1513 coin from the Holy Roman Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Maximilian I, who was the first Holy Roman Emperor to introduce a standardized system of coinage across the empire. This coin, made of gold and weighing 3.21 grams, was a significant departure from the various local currencies that were previously used in different regions of the empire. The introduction of this standardized coinage system helped to facilitate trade and commerce across the empire, and it set a precedent for future coinage systems in Europe.
