Interesting fact

The 1 Dreier coin from the City of Goslar (German States) was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Ferdinand II, who was trying to stabilize the German economy after the devastation of the Thirty Years' War. The coin's silver content and its relatively low denomination made it a popular choice for everyday transactions, and it remained in circulation for many years after its minting. Despite its age, the coin remains a sought-after collector's item today, with some rare examples selling for high prices at auction.
