Comment
Similar to MB#28 but legends in Latin letters. Maximilian I's name appears on this last issue long after his death in 1519. Varieties exist.Interesting fact
The 1 Goldgulden coin from the City of Konstanz (German States) made of Gold weighing 3.24g is interesting because 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 to replace the earlier Gold florin, and it was meant to be a stable and reliable currency for trade and commerce. Despite its small size, the coin was made of pure gold and had a high value, reflecting the wealth and prosperity of the City of Konstanz at the time.
