Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Reformation, which was a significant event in European history that marked the split between Protestantism and Catholicism. The coin features an image of Augustus William, the Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, who was a prominent figure during the Reformation. The coin's design and the fact that it was made of silver make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
