Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Electors of the Palatinate is that it was minted during the reign of Rupert I, who was the Count Palatine of the Rhine and King of Germany from 1354 to 1364. Rupert I was a member of the House of Wittelsbach, a powerful noble family that played a significant role in the history of the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's design likely reflects the political and cultural influences of the time, and its gold content makes it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
