Comment
Dethlefs/Ordelheide 164. Domanig 481Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Free City of Regensburg, issued in 1649 to commemorate the Peace of Westphalia, is interesting because it features a unique design that symbolizes the peace agreement. On one side, it depicts the double-headed eagle of the Holy Roman Empire, while on the other side, it shows a representation of the goddess of peace, Pax, holding an olive branch and a cornucopia. This design was meant to symbolize the end of the Thirty Years' War and the beginning of a new era of peace and prosperity in Europe.
