Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from Electors of the Palatinate (Palatinate, German States) made of Gold weighing 3.51 g is that it was minted during the reign of Rupert I, who was the Count Palatine of the Rhine and King of Germany from 1375 to 1380. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin during his reign and is a rare and valuable collector's item today.
