Interesting fact
The 1 Goldgulden coin from the City of Rostock (German States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.49 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), a conflict that devastated much of Germany and disrupted trade and commerce. Despite these challenges, the City of Rostock continued to mint coins, including this gold gulden, which was likely used for large transactions and trade. The coin's gold content and weight reflect the value of gold during this time period and provide a glimpse into the economic conditions of the region.
