Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Clemmergulden" coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Duchy of Guelders. Charles of Egmont, the Duke who ruled during this time, faced numerous challenges including wars with neighboring territories and conflicts with the local nobility. Despite these challenges, the coinage during his reign remained consistent and of high quality, with the "Clemmergulden" being a prime example. Its gold content and detailed design make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
