One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), a devastating conflict that lasted for three decades and involved many European states. Despite the war, the City of Worms was able to mint this commemorative coin, which suggests that the city was an important economic and political center during that time. Additionally, the coin's design, which features the Council of Thirteen, highlights the city's political and social structure during the early 17th century.
