Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Gold Guilder - Clement VII ND (1378-1394) from Comtat Venaissin (Papal States) is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Clement VII, who was known for his controversial decision to move the Papal seat from Rome to Avignon, France, in 1309. This event marked the beginning of the Western Schism, a period of great division within the Catholic Church that lasted for nearly 40 years. Despite this, the coin still holds significant historical and numismatic value, particularly for collectors interested in rare and unique coins from the medieval period.
