Interesting fact
The 1 Goldgulden 1638 from City of Hamelin (German States) is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples remaining in existence. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, with the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) taking place during the same period. Despite the turmoil, the coin's minting was a testament to the city's economic and political stability, and its gold content made it a highly valued currency in international trade.
