This 1730 silver medal by Martin Holtzhey commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession, a foundational document of Lutheranism. The obverse of the medal depicts a scale, symbolizing the balance of faith, with a city in the background, likely Augsburg. The reverse bears a Latin inscription marking the event. The medal is a small-scale, but intricate example of 18th-century commemorative art, reflecting a deep-rooted faith in the Augsburg Confession.
