Interesting fact

The 1 Goldgulden coin from the Archbishopric of Trier, minted during the reign of Werner of Falkenstein (1394-1399), features a unique design element - a stylized image of a falcon, which was the coat of arms of the Falkenstein family. This symbolizes the powerful influence of the Falkenstein dynasty during that time period in the German States.
