Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Goldgulden coin from Duchy of Pomerania-Stettin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1616, just a few years before the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War, which would have a profound impact on the German States and the rest of Europe. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with its gold content and detailed design making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item today.
