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. Despite being a religious leader, Rupert was known for his military campaigns and political maneuvering, which likely contributed to his influence and power in the region. The coin's design, which includes Rupert's image and the coat of arms of the Archbishopric of Cologne, reflects the close relationship between the church and the state during this time period.
