The Euro didn't exist in 1521. Wikipedia doesn't even list what the currency was back then:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_of_Germany https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_of_Germany
I suppose it would have been priced in some sort of metal back then, and the first official currencies would have been on a metallic standard.

- orblivion 5y agoAh, sorry. I tried skimming and searching for some specific like that.

- zaarn 5y agoBack then Germany didn't exist quite yet as country. Fugger charged people in Augsburg in Rheinische Gulden.
- orblivion 5y agoI was still expecting that Wikipedia would list the historical currencies in the area, and they did list some. Presumably there was continuity of culture over the centuries despite political bodies and boundaries.
