Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the City of Worms (German States) is that 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 Worms continued to mint coins, including the 1 Goldgulden, which was used as a medium of exchange and a store of value. The coin's gold content and intricate design made it a valuable and sought-after currency, both within the German States and beyond.
