Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Reformation, a significant event in European history that marked the split between Protestantism and Catholicism. The coin's design likely reflects this event, making it a unique and meaningful collector's item for those interested in religious history.
