Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1717 Heilbronn 1 Ducat coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Reformation, a significant event in European religious history. The coin's design features an image of Martin Luther, a key figure in the Protestant Reformation, on one side, and the coat of arms of the City of Heilbronn on the other. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists and history enthusiasts.
