Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Goldgulden coin from Duchy of Württemberg is that it was minted during the reign of Frederick I, who was the first Duke of Württemberg and ruled from 1606 to 1628. The coin features an image of Frederick I on one side and the coat of arms of Württemberg on the other. The use of gold in the coin's minting was a symbol of the duchy's wealth and power.
