Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden "Ungeldgoldgulden" coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just begun in 1618, and many German states, including Nuremberg, were struggling with inflation and currency devaluation. Despite these challenges, the Nuremberg mint continued to produce high-quality gold coins like the 1 Goldgulden "Ungeldgoldgulden," which was worth 1/24th of a gold gulden and had a gold content of 98.6%. This coin's design featured the coat of arms of Nuremberg on one side and the image of the Holy Roman Emperor on the other, symbolizing the city's allegiance to the Empire.
