Comment
Gold strike from the 1 Thaler coin.Interesting fact
The Pattern 4 Goldgulden from the City of Hildesheim (German States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1626, just a few years after the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) had begun, which had a profound impact on the economy and trade in the region. Despite the challenges of this time period, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the skill of the mint masters and the wealth of the city. Additionally, the fact that it was made of gold (.986) and weighs 14.48g makes it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
