Interesting fact
The 1 Goldgulden coin from the City of Hildesheim (German States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.21 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and many German states were struggling to rebuild their economies. The City of Hildesheim, in particular, was an important trading center and minting coins like this Goldgulden was a way for the city to promote trade and commerce. The coin's high gold content and detailed design also reflect the city's wealth and craftsmanship at the time.
