Goldgulden

Bern's goldgulden was struck to the Rhenish standard, aligning the city with the monetary conventions of the Upper Rhine currency union rather than asserting any independent weight system. The city had minting rights confirmed by the Holy Roman Emperor, and exercised them selectively — gold coinage from Bern in the sixteenth century was produced in relatively modest quantities compared to the prolific silver output of the period.

Fr#108 places this among the scarcer Swiss cantonal gold issues in Friedberg's reckoning.
