Comment
Mintmaster Hans Christian LauerInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Ducats - Gustav II Adolphus 1632 coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of King Gustav II Adolphus, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Roman goddess of fortune, Fortuna, surrounded by symbols of the seven deadly sins. This blending of religious and mythological themes was a common feature of coins minted during the Renaissance period, reflecting the cultural and religious diversity of the time.
