Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1717 Rothenburg ob der Tauber 1 Ducat 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 features an image of Martin Luther, a key figure in the Reformation movement, on one side, and the coat of arms of Rothenburg ob der Tauber 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.
