Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Guldiner - Matthäus Lang von Wellenburg 1522 coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "W" on the reverse side, which represents the Bishopric of Salzburg and its ruler, Matthäus Lang von Wellenburg. This coin was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe, and its design reflects the complex political and religious allegiances of the region.
