Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden - Maximilian I (Frankfurt) 1512 coin from the Holy Roman Empire is that it features an image of the Emperor Maximilian I on horseback, with a crown on his head and a scepter in his hand. This coin was minted during Maximilian's reign, which lasted from 1493 to 1519, and it was used as a means of promoting his image and authority throughout the empire. Despite being made of gold, the coin was not particularly valuable at the time, as the value of gold was not as high as it is today. However, due to its historical significance and rarity, the coin is now highly sought after by collectors and can fetch high prices at auctions.
