Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden - Sede Vacante ND (1373) coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz is that it was issued during a time of great political and religious upheaval in Europe. The coin was minted in 1373, during the Western Schism, a period when there were two, and later three, rival popes, each claiming to be the true head of the Catholic Church. This led to a great deal of instability and conflict within the Church and the Holy Roman Empire, of which the Archbishopric of Mainz was a part. Despite this turmoil, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, a testament to the enduring legacy of the Archbishopric and the artistry of its mintmasters.
