Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden 1618 from Free imperial city of Nuremberg (German States) is that it was minted during a time when the city was an important center for trade and commerce in Europe.

This coin was likely used in trade and commerce throughout Europe during this time period.
