Comment
Dutkowski 339 (R8), F.u.S. 3395Interesting fact
The Goldgulden 1531 from City of Breslau (Silesia) is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few examples known to exist. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor, who was a member of the Habsburg dynasty and ruled over a vast territory that included much of Central and Eastern Europe. The coin's design features the emperor's portrait on one side and the coat of arms of Breslau on the other, making it a unique and historically significant artifact from the Renaissance period.
