Comment
Minted in MülheimInteresting fact
The 1 Goldgulden coin from County of Berg, issued during the reign of William II (1360-1380), is an interesting piece of history because it was used as a means of payment during a time when the region was experiencing significant economic growth and political change. The coin's value was equivalent to 1/20th of a Cologne mark, which was a standard unit of account in the region. Despite its small denomination, the coin was made of gold, indicating the wealth and prosperity of the region at the time. Additionally, the coin features an image of William II on one side and the coat of arms of Berg on the other, making it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
