Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession, a significant event in the history of the Lutheran Church. The Augsburg Confession was a statement of faith presented by Martin Luther and other Protestant leaders to the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V in 1530. The coin's design features an image of Charles William Frederick, the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach, who was a prominent supporter of the Lutheran Church. The coin's minting was a way to honor his legacy and commemorate the important role he played in the spread of Lutheranism in Germany.
