Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Reformation, a significant event in European religious history. The coin's design features an image of Martin Luther, a key figure in the Protestant Reformation, and the Latin inscription "REFORMATIO ECCLESIAE" (Reformation of the Church). This coin is a unique piece of history that not only serves as a reminder of the Reformation's impact but also showcases the artistry and craftsmanship of the time.
