Interesting fact

The 1 Guldengroschen coin from the City of Cologne (German States) made of Silver weighing 28.88g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor, Maximilian I, who was known for his efforts to reform the coinage system in the Holy Roman Empire. This coin was one of the first standardized coins minted during his reign, and it features an image of the Emperor on one side and the coat of arms of Cologne on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
