Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from Electors of the Palatinate (Palatinate, German States) made of Gold weighing 3.49 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 1380 to 1385. This coin was issued as a standard circulation coin during his reign, and it is made of gold, which was a valuable and prestigious metal at the time. The fact that it was minted during Rupert I's reign adds historical significance to the coin, making it a valuable piece for collectors and historians.
