Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Reichsort coin from the Archbishopric of Magdeburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Hohenzollern, to which Christian William of Brandenburg belonged. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the bond between the Archbishopric of Magdeburg and the House of Hohenzollern, highlighting the close relationship between the church and the ruling dynasty.
