Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden - Sede Vacante ND (1396-1397) coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz is that it was minted during a time of political and religious upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued during the Great Schism, a period of approximately 40 years when there were two, and later three, rival popes, each claiming to be the true head of the Catholic Church. This event had a significant impact on the political and religious landscape of Europe, and the coin serves as a tangible reminder of this tumultuous period in history.
