Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Goldgulden coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued by the Bishopric of Chur, which was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and it was made of gold, which was a valuable and highly sought-after metal at the time. Despite its small size, the Goldgulden coin played an important role in the local economy and was widely used in trade and commerce.
