1 Goldgulden - Charles I Reichenstein

Charles I of Münsterberg-Oels was a Piast duke ruling a fragmented Silesian territory that had been subdivided repeatedly through inheritance across the fifteenth century. By 1522, the duchy was navigating the early shockwaves of Lutheran reform while remaining nominally within the Bohemian crown's orbit under Habsburg authority. Goldgulden production at this scale by minor Silesian lords was partly an assertion of minting rights — rights the Habsburgs were already beginning to curtail across the region.
