Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Gulden - Frederick III of Blankenheim ND (1409-1423) from Bishopric of Utrecht (Dutch States) made of Gold weighing 3.41 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick III, who was the Bishop of Utrecht from 1409 to 1423. During this period, the Dutch States were struggling to maintain their independence from the surrounding powerful kingdoms, and the minting of this coin was likely a way for the Bishopric of Utrecht to assert its authority and demonstrate its wealth and power. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable and fascinating piece of history for collectors and historians alike.
