Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Gulden - Charles V 1523 coin from the Imperial Cities of Deventer, Kampen, and Zwolle (Dutch States) is that it was made of gold and weighed 3.28 grams. This is significant because gold coins were not commonly used in circulation during this time period, and it speaks to the wealth and prosperity of the Dutch States during the reign of Charles V. Additionally, the fact that it was issued by three imperial cities, Deventer, Kampen, and Zwolle, highlights the economic and political importance of these cities during this time.
