Comment
First Silesian gold coin, similar to Floren design from Bohemia.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Goldgulden coin is that it was minted during the reign of Wenceslaus I, who was the Duke of Liegnitz-Brieg (Silesia) from 1352 to 1364. Despite being a relatively small coin, weighing only 3.5 grams, it was made of gold, which signifies its value and importance during that time period.
