Beschrijving keerzijde A lighted candle mounted on a tall stand radiates bold sunburst rays, symbolizing the light of the Gospel, and is positioned above a closed Bible or scripture chest inscribed S.B., which rests on a decorated base. A flowing ribbon banner arching across the upper field bears the Reformed motto V.D.M.I.Æ. (Verbum Domini Manet In Æternum — the Word of the Lord endures forever). The date elements DEN. XV. / OCTOB. appear in the side fields, recording the 15th of October, the date of the Reformation jubilee observance. The composition is rendered in high relief against a plain field, enclosed within a beaded border. The design reflects the devout Protestant character of the Free City of Regensburg's commemorative coinage.

Aanvullende informatie

Regensburg issued this ducat in 1642 while the city was hosting the Immerwährender Reichstag — the Imperial Diet that would become permanently seated there just a few years later. The Thirty Years' War was still grinding toward its conclusion, and Regensburg, nominally imperial but fiercely Lutheran, had particular reason to commemorate the Reformation at that moment. Protestant identity was a live political question, not a retrospective one.

Beckenbauer 2469 is among the better-documented varieties of this type. The .986 fine standard is consistent with the high-purity ducat tradition maintained by southern German free cities throughout the seventeenth century.
