Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Goldgulden coin from the Archbishopric of Magdeburg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coin was issued by Christian William of Brandenburg, who was the Archbishop of Magdeburg from 1614 to 1617. During his reign, he implemented a number of economic reforms, including the introduction of a new coinage system, which helped to stabilize the local economy and promote trade. The 2 Goldgulden coin was a key part of this system, and it remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item to this day.
