Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the Peace of Augsburg, a significant event in European history that took place in 1555. The Peace of Augsburg was a treaty between the Holy Roman Empire and the Protestant princes of the German states, which established the principle of "cuius regio, eius religio" or "whose region, his religion." This principle allowed rulers to determine the religion of their subjects, which helped to bring peace to the region after years of religious conflicts. The coin's design, featuring Frederick III, the Duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg, and the inscription "Friedens-Medaille 1755" (Peace Medal 1755), serves as a reminder of the importance of peace and unity in the region's history.
