Comment
The Augsburg Confession is the founding text of Lutheranism, presented to Charles V at the Diet of Augsburg on June 25, 1530. (Source : www.wikipedia.org) Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1730 Augsburg Confession 1 Ducat coin 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 and reformer Martin Luther, who played a significant role in the Confession's creation. This coin is a rare and valuable example of early modern numismatics and serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Reformation.
