Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Ducats (Peace of Hubertusburg) 1763 coin from the Free City of Augsburg is that it was minted to commemorate the Treaty of Hubertusburg, which was signed in 1763 and ended the Seven Years' War. The treaty was named after the Hubertusburg Castle, where the negotiations took place. The coin's design features an image of the castle on one side and the coat of arms of the Free City of Augsburg on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of numismatic history, with only a limited number minted, making it a sought-after collector's item.
