Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Goldgulden coin is that it was minted during the reign of Albrecht II, who was the King of the Romans and Holy Roman Emperor from 1438 to 1439. Despite his short reign, Albrecht II's coinage reforms had a lasting impact on the Holy Roman Empire's monetary system, and the Goldgulden coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history.
