Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Archbishopric of Cologne is that it features an image of Theodoric II of Moers, who was the Bishop of Münster and later became the Archbishop of Cologne. This coin was minted during his reign, which lasted from 1428 to 1437. Despite being made of gold, the coin weighs only 3.47 grams, making it a relatively small and portable form of currency for its time.
