Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great historical significance. The Council of Thirteen, which was a group of influential citizens who governed the city of Worms, issued this coin in 1625, during the Thirty Years' War. This war was a devastating conflict that lasted from 1618 to 1648 and involved much of Europe, including Germany. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin's minting was a testament to the city's resilience and determination to maintain its economic and cultural prosperity.
