Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Philip Reinhard 1627 from County of Solms-Hohensolms (German States) coin is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of Philip Reinhard, the Count of Solms-Hohensolms, surrounded by symbols of Christianity, such as a cross and a bishop's mitre. However, the reverse side of the coin features a depiction of the Roman goddess of fortune, Fortuna, surrounded by putti (cherubs) and other symbols of good fortune. This blending of religious and mythological imagery is a fascinating example of the cultural and artistic exchange that occurred during the Renaissance period in Europe.
