1968 MEXICO OLYMPIC GERMANY FEDERAL REPUBLIC ARGENTEUS 3 DUCAT. The Aureus Magnus (Latin: The great Gold One) and the Argenteus (Latin: of Silver) medal series was created between 1955 and 1981 by medalist Werner Graul with the aim of establishing an alternative currency based on precious metals. From the 3rd issue of the Aureus Magnus (Latin: Gold), all motifs were also embossed as a silver version. These medals were given the name Argenteus (Latin: Silver) and, like the gold version, are marked on the back according to their weight. 1 Argenteus = 15 g weight. The backs are similar (with a few exceptions) to the Aureus Magnus editions: six-pointed lily cross with a value in the center and inscription: Pro Prosperitate Mundi (Latin for “For the prosperity of the people”) However, instead of the 980 there is a 1000 under the cross for 1000 fine silver, as well as the indication Argenteus (Latin: Silver) instead of Aureus Magnus (Latin: Gold). The average Silver weight of this coin is 1.437 troy ounce. In order to be able to offer the medals overseas, they were simply minted in silver.
