Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the City of Stralsund (German States) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just begun in 1618 and would last until 1648, causing widespread destruction and disrupting trade routes. Despite these challenges, the City of Stralsund continued to mint coins, including the 1 Goldgulden, which was used as a medium of exchange and a store of value. The fact that this coin was made of gold, a valuable and durable metal, speaks to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Stralsund during this difficult period in history.
