Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political significance for the city. The coin was issued between 1435 and 1440, a period when Hamburg was an important member of the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading confederation of cities in Northern Europe. The coin's gold content and its issuance during this time period suggest that it may have played a role in facilitating trade and commerce within the League.
