Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden - Henry II 1619 from Reuss-Gera (German States) coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1619, just a few years after the end of the Thirty Years' War, which had devastated much of Germany and disrupted trade and commerce. Despite these challenges, the Reuss-Gera mint was able to produce a coin made of gold (.986) that weighed 3.23 grams, indicating a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. This coin is a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of Reuss-Gera during a difficult period in history.
