Comment
Mintmaster II H - Johann Josef HermannsInteresting fact
The 1 Gulden 1716 coin from the City of Cologne (German States) is interesting because it was minted during a time when the city was part of the Holy Roman Empire, and it features an image of the Roman Emperor, Charles VI, on one side and the coat of arms of Cologne on the other. This coin was used as a means of payment and exchange in the region and is now considered a valuable collector's item.
