Interesting fact
The 1 Goldgulden coin from County of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg (German States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.25 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of George V, who was the Count of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg from 1623 to 1626. This coin is a rare example of a gold coin minted during a time when most coins were made of silver or copper. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in a small German state during the 17th century makes it a unique piece of numismatic history.
