Interesting fact
The Albus coin from the City of Worms (German States) was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, known as the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). This conflict had a profound impact on the economy and currency of many regions, including the German States. Despite the challenges, the City of Worms continued to mint coins, such as the Albus, which was used as a means of exchange and commerce. The fact that this coin was made of silver and weighs 0.87 grams suggests that it was a valuable and durable form of currency, even during a time of economic instability.
