Extremely Rare!
A jewel of exceptional beauty and historical value—
This Lamb Ducat Gold Coin is a standout piece among animal-themed coins for its profound symbolism and rarity.

Among the globally renowned Lamb Ducat coins, this 3-ducat specimen is especially prized for its exceptional rarity and market value.

Certified examples are scarce, and such coins rarely appear on the open market.

Design

• Obverse: A lamb (Agnus Dei) standing on a globe, holding a flag inscribed with PAX (Latin for “peace”)
  Inscription: PACEM DA NOBIS CHRISTE BENIGNE
  (“Grant us peace, kind Christ”)

• Reverse: Three shields surrounded by decorative ribbonwork
  Inscription: MONETA AVREA REIP NORIMB GFN
  (GFN = Georg Friedrich Nürnberg, mint master of Nuremberg)

The motif of the lamb standing on the globe is thought to reference the Golden Fleece from Greek mythology, and coins with this design are often referred to as “Lamb Ducats.”
The lamb’s head is adorned with a halo, symbolizing divinity, and the flag bearing “PAX” reflects a powerful message of peace.

The entire design—on both obverse and reverse—is filled with deep, symbolic meaning, making it a masterpiece of numismatic art.

★ Historical & Market Value

For collectors, it is not merely an investment but a way to connect with the era it represents.
