| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central shield bearing the arms of the City of Ulm — a quartered design — with the date 1730 divided across the lower portion of the shield. A circular legend in German script surrounds the arms, reading GOTT IE LEHR GIBT in abbreviated form around the upper field. The whole is enclosed within a beaded border. The design is struck in a clean, milled style consistent with commemorative pattern issues of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck to mark the 200th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession — the foundational Lutheran doctrinal statement presented to Emperor Charles V on June 25, 1530 — this piece commemorates one of the defining moments in Reformation history. Ulm had formally adopted Lutheranism in 1531, just one year after the Confession itself, and the bicentennial was observed with civic ceremony across Protestant imperial cities.
The pattern designation is significant: Nau 231 records this as a trial or presentation strike in silver rather than a circulating issue, suggesting limited production intended for gifts or archives rather than commerce.
