Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Gulden - Charles V ND (1534) coin from the Imperial Cities of Deventer, Kampen, and Zwolle (Dutch States) is that it was made of gold and weighed 3.1 grams. This is notable because gold coins were not commonly used in circulation during this time period, and the fact that this coin was made of gold suggests that it may have been a special issue or reserved for certain transactions. Additionally, the fact that it weighed 3.1 grams indicates that it was a relatively small coin, which may have made it more practical for everyday transactions.
