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 1620 and 1623, a period marked by the Thirty Years' War, which had a profound impact on the German states and the Holy Roman Empire. Despite the challenges of this time, the Nuremberg mint was able to produce high-quality coins like the 1 Goldgulden, which were widely used in trade and commerce.
