Interesting fact
The Goldgulden 1622 from the City of Zurich is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few specimens known to exist. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time when the City of Zurich was experiencing significant political and economic changes. In 1622, the city was part of the Swiss Confederation, a union of independent states that had been formed in the late medieval period. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing economic and trade activities in the region, and it may have been used for transactions and trade with other cities and states in the Confederation. Despite its age and rarity, the Goldgulden 1622 remains a fascinating piece of history and a testament to the rich cultural and economic heritage of the City of Zurich.
