Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat (Reformation) 1641 from Free city of Regensburg (German States) made of Gold (.986) is an interesting coin because it was minted to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession, a key event in the Protestant Reformation. The coin features an image of Martin Luther, the leader of the Reformation, on one side and the coat of arms of Regensburg on the other. It was minted in 1641, during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe, and its production was likely a significant event in the city of Regensburg. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of the Reformation.
