Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden - John Philip of Schönborn (Neujahrsgulden) ND (1642) from Bishopric of Würzburg (German States) coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and many German states were struggling to rebuild their economies. The Bishopric of Würzburg, in particular, was facing financial difficulties, and the minting of this coin was likely a way for the bishopric to generate revenue and stabilize its economy. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item today.
