Interesting fact

The 1 Flitter coin from the City of Goslar was minted in 1620 during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and the Holy Roman Empire was in the process of dissolving. Despite these challenges, the City of Goslar continued to mint coins, including the 1 Flitter, which was made of copper and had a unique design featuring the city's coat of arms. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact that provides a glimpse into the economic and political history of the time.
