★ Historical Significance & Market Value
The Thirty Years' War, a fierce religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants in Germany, evolved into a devastating war that engulfed all of Europe. This war is a tragic historical event that vividly illustrates the consequences of religious strife.

After the war ended, the Lamb Ducat was issued in Nuremberg as a symbol of the people's wish for peace. The lamb depicted on the coin represents hope and peace, embodying the resilience of those who endured the war’s tragedies.

Nuremberg, once a flourishing center of European trade, was devastated by the war, and its people faced immense hardship. Yet, from this turmoil, the Lamb Ducat emerged as a beacon of hope.

With its beautiful design and profound historical background, the Lamb Ducat is more than just a gold coin—it’s a work of art infused with a wish for peace. The fusion of historical events and the universal theme of "peace" captivates history enthusiasts and peace advocates alike.

For collectors, the Lamb Ducat is more than an investment; it’s a special piece that tells the story of its era, enjoying immense popularity worldwide.

The Lamb Ducat has exceptional market appeal, with its value increasing significantly in recent years. It maintains strong demand both in Japan and internationally, making it a must-have for antique coin collectors.

Due to its high demand, the Lamb Ducat quickly disappears from the market!
