Comment
Trade coinageInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden ND (1618) from City of Magdeburg (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 Magdeburg continued to mint coins, including this gold gulden, which was used as a medium of exchange and a store of value. The coin's gold content and intricate design make it a valuable collector's item today.
