Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Sint Jansgoudgulden coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Duchy of Guelders. The coin was issued by Arnold of Egmont, who was the Duke of Guelders from 1423 to 1473, and it was a time of political and economic upheaval in the region. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a popular and trusted form of currency, and it continues to be a sought-after collector's item to this day.
