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 1464 to 1468. Despite being a religious leader, Rupert was known for his military campaigns and political maneuvering, which helped to expand the power and influence of the Archbishopric of Cologne. The coin's design reflects this history, with an image of Rupert on one side and the coat of arms of the Archbishopric on the other.
