Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel (Hesse-Cassel) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.21 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and the Holy Roman Empire was in decline, leading to the rise of new territorial states and the need for new forms of currency to facilitate trade and commerce. The Goldgulden coin, which was first introduced in 1618, became an important medium of exchange during this time and was widely used throughout the German-speaking regions of Europe.
