Interesting fact
The 1 Goldgulden coin from the City of Magdeburg (German States) made of Gold weighing 3.25g is interesting because it was issued 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 Magdeburg, in particular, had been heavily damaged during the war, and the issuance of this coin was likely an attempt to stimulate trade and commerce in the region. The fact that it was made of gold, a valuable and highly sought-after metal, suggests that it was intended to be a symbol of the city's wealth and prosperity.
