Interesting fact
The 1 Goldgulden coin from Öttingen (German States) made of Gold weighing 3.23g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Wolfgang I, who was a powerful prince-bishop in the Holy Roman Empire during the early 16th century. The coin's design features an image of Wolfgang I on one side and the Öttingen coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the powerful alliance between the church and the state during that time.
