Interesting fact
The Goldgulden 1590 from the City of Bern 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 a time when the City of Bern was an independent state, and it features the coat of arms of Bern on one side and the image of a saint on the other. This coin is a unique piece of history and a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
