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 a powerful bishop and politician in the 15th century. He played a significant role in the politics of the Holy Roman Empire and was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church. The coin's design, which includes Theodoric's image, reflects the importance of the Church and its leaders during this time period.
