Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Archbishopric of Cologne is that it was minted during the reign of Theodoric II of Moers, who was a powerful bishop and politician in the German States during the 15th century. The coin's design features an image of Theodoric II on one side and the coat of arms of the Archbishopric of Cologne on the other. The use of gold in the coin's minting was a symbol of the wealth and power of the Archbishopric, and the coin's small weight of 3.46 grams made it a convenient and practical means of exchange for merchants and traders.
