Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Gold Florin - Ferdinand of Bavaria ND (1614) from Prince-bishopric of Liege (Belgian States) is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political turmoil in Europe. The coin was issued by Ferdinand of Bavaria, who was the Prince-Bishop of Liege, a region that is now part of Belgium. At the time, the Protestant Reformation was gaining momentum, and the Catholic Church was facing challenges to its authority. Additionally, the coin was minted during the Thirty Years' War, a devastating conflict that lasted from 1618 to 1648 and involved many European states. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the enduring power of gold as a symbol of value and wealth.
