Comment
Slg. Whiting 485Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1742 Reformation Ducat from the Free City of Regensburg is that it was minted to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession, a key event in the Protestant Reformation. The coin's design features an image of Martin Luther, the founder of the Lutheran Church, on one side, and the coat of arms of Regensburg on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable example of a commemorative coin from the German States, and its gold content and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item.
