Interesting fact
The Goldgulden - Maximilian I 1506 coin from the Holy Roman Empire is interesting because it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of a ruler, specifically Maximilian I, who was the Holy Roman Emperor at the time. This coin was a significant departure from previous coins that had featured generic designs or symbols, and it paved the way for future coins to feature portraits of rulers and other notable figures.
