Germany Bavaria 1 gulden Marriage 1685 Restrike SP 67 PCGS silver coin 1996

The 1996 Bavaria 1 Gulden silver restrike commemorates a historic dynastic marriage originally celebrated in 1685, blending baroque artistry with modern minting excellence. Struck in silver with a refined Proof-like appearance and graded SP67 by PCGS, this piece captures the elegance and symbolism of European noble unions.

The obverse features two finely sculpted facing portraits of a noble couple, richly detailed with elaborate wigs, garments, and facial expressions characteristic of late 17th-century aristocracy. Above them, radiant sun rays emerge between stylized clouds, symbolizing divine blessing. The surrounding Latin inscription reads “OMNE EVN PENEDICAT DEVS QVOS DEVS CONIVNXIT,” emphasizing sacred union, while a small oval cartouche with the date “1996” appears near the lower left, framed by a beaded border. The reverse presents two ornate crowned coats of arms side by side, each filled with intricate heraldic patterns, topped by crowns and surrounded by decorative foliage and scrollwork. Above, a winged cherub (putto) holds a ribbon connecting the shields, reinforcing the theme of unity. The inscription “VT : VIDEANT FILIOS FILIORVM ET PACEM SUPER IPSOS” encircles the composition.

This restrike celebrates dynastic alliance and continuity, reflecting both historical heritage and artistic craftsmanship.

A superb SP67 certified silver coin with exceptional detail and mirror-like surfaces, it is a remarkable addition for collectors of European history and heraldic themes.
