Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Goldgulden coin from the Holy Roman Empire is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic upheaval in Europe. The Interregnum period, which lasted from 1438 to 1440, was a time of crisis for the Holy Roman Empire, with no clear leader or authority in place. Despite this, the minting of coins continued, with the Goldgulden being one of the few coins produced during this time. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact from a pivotal moment in European history.
