Comment
Unlisted in the KM catalogueInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Reformation, a significant event in European religious history. The Reformation was a movement that aimed to reform the Roman Catholic Church and ultimately led to the separation of Protestantism from Catholicism. The coin's design likely reflects this event and its significance.
