Interesting 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 history that marked the start of the Protestant movement and the split of Christianity into Protestant and Catholic denominations. The coin's design likely reflects this event, making it a unique and meaningful collector's item for those interested in religious history.
