Mann 448Interesting fact
The 2 Goldgulden coin from the Duchy of Anhalt-Plötzkau (German States) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted in 1620, just a few years after the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) had begun, which had a profound impact on the German states and the rest of Europe. Despite the turmoil, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the skill of the mint masters and the value placed on currency during this time period.
