Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Archbishopric of Cologne is that it features an image of Rupert of the Palatinate, who was a powerful prince-elector and bishop in the Holy Roman Empire during the 15th century. The coin was minted during his reign, which lasted from 1463 to 1464. Despite being a religious leader, Rupert was known for his military campaigns and political influence, which is reflected in the coin's design. The coin's gold content and intricate design make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
