Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Dicken coin from the City of Ulm (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and cultural significance for the city. The 16th century was a period of prosperity and growth for Ulm, which was an important trading center on the Danube River. The city's merchants and artisans were known for their skill and innovation, and the coinage of the time reflects this. The 1 Dicken coin, made of silver and weighing 7.41 grams, would have been a valuable and highly sought-after currency during this period.
