Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1717 Ulm Bicentenary of the Reformation 1 Ducat coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, which was a significant event in European history. The coin's obverse side depicts a portrait of Martin Luther, the German theologian and reformer who played a key role in the Reformation, while the reverse side shows a scene of Luther posting his 95 Theses on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, which is considered a defining moment in the Protestant Reformation. The coin's design was created by the artist Johann Georg Pfeffel, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists and history enthusiasts.
