Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1730 Augsburg Confession ½ Ducat from the City of Ulm is that it was minted to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession, a key event in the Protestant Reformation. The coin's design features an image of the Lutheran theologian Philipp Melanchthon, who played a significant role in the Confession's creation.
