Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued between 1614 and 1616, a period known as the "Kipper und Wipper" era, which saw widespread inflation and currency devaluation due to the Thirty Years' War. Despite these challenges, the Nuremberg Goldgulden remained a stable and trusted currency, with its high gold content and elegant design making it a popular choice for trade and commerce.
