Interesting fact

The 1 Goldgulden coin from the City of Strasbourg (French States) made of Gold 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 King Louis XII of France, who ruled from 1498 to 1515, and it was used as a means of currency during the Renaissance period. The coin's design features the image of the king on one side and the city's coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the connection between the city and the French monarchy. Additionally, the fact that it was made of gold, a valuable and sought-after metal, highlights the wealth and prosperity of the city and the French States during this time.
