Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1690 Augsburg 1 Ducat coin is that it features a unique design that represents the theme of marriage. The obverse side of the coin depicts a man and woman holding hands, surrounded by symbols of fertility and abundance, such as flowers, fruit, and a cornucopia. This design was meant to celebrate the union of two people in marriage and to wish them prosperity and happiness in their future together. The coin's design was created by the artist Johann Karl von der Müllen, who was a prominent engraver and medalist of the time.
