Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden - Werner of Falkenstein ND (1400-1402) coin from the Archbishopric of Trier (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Werner of Falkenstein, who was the Archbishop of Trier from 1400 to 1402. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was facing economic challenges, including inflation and debasement of the currency. The minting of this coin, which was made of gold and had a high value, reflects the efforts of the Archbishopric of Trier to maintain economic stability and promote trade in the region.
