Interesting fact

The 1745 Augsburg 1 Ducat coin features an image of the Roman goddess of wisdom, Minerva, on its reverse side. This design was chosen to symbolize the city's reputation for learning and culture, as Augsburg was a major center of trade and commerce in the German States during the 18th century.
