Zac# 24Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1642 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 features an image of Martin Luther and other prominent figures from the Reformation on one side, and the coat of arms of Regensburg on the other. The coin's design and symbolism reflect the significance of the Reformation in German history and culture.
