Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden ND (1516) coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Charles V, who was trying to standardize coinage across the Holy Roman Empire. The Goldgulden was a new denomination introduced by Charles V, and it was intended to be a standardized gold coin that could be used across the empire. This coin is an example of the efforts of the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg to adopt this new standardized currency, and it is a testament to the city's economic and political ties to the wider empire.
