Interesting fact
The Goldgulden 1622 from the City of Schaffhausen is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few examples known to exist. It is interesting to note that the coin was minted during a time when the use of gold as a currency was not yet widespread, and its production was likely a trial or an experiment. The fact that it was made of gold (.986) and weighs 3.14g suggests that it was intended as a high-value coin, possibly used for large transactions or as a store of value. Its rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
