Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Goldgulden coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was issued by Thomas I, who was the Lord of Haldenstein, a small territory in the Grisons region of Switzerland. During his reign, the Grisons region was experiencing significant political and economic changes, including the rise of the Swiss Confederation and the introduction of new currency systems. Despite these changes, the Goldgulden coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and it continues to be a valuable collector's item to this day.
