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 1474 to 1478. Despite being a religious leader, Rupert was known for his military campaigns and political influence, making him a significant figure in German history.
