Interesting fact
The 1 Goldgulden coin from the City of Brunswick (German States) made of Gold (.771) weighing 3.25 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War (1618-1648) had a profound impact on the German States, leading to a significant decrease in the value of coinage and an increase in inflation. Despite these challenges, the City of Brunswick continued to mint coins, such as the 1 Goldgulden, which remained a stable store of value and a symbol of wealth and prosperity.
