Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg (German States), silver medal, (1717), Martin Luther - Reformation 200th Anniversary, by C. Wermuth, NGC MS 62. Whiting-173 28.15 grams; 43.4mm. Dark rainbow toning all over, well struck. Famous issue with robed bust of Martin Luther facing right on one side and his wife Catharina von Bora depicted on the other side facing left with her hair netted. Curiously (intentionally?), when the obverse and reverse are shown in proper order from left to right, the husband and wife face each other in immortal affection! NGC #2713842-001.
