Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1730 Augsburg Confession 1 Ducat coin is that it features a unique design that reflects the religious and political context of the time. The coin's obverse side features an image of the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles VI, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Augsburg Confession, a key document in the Protestant Reformation. This combination of religious and political symbols highlights the complex relationship between the Catholic Church and the Protestant movement in the German States during the early 18th century.
