Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the City of Magdeburg (German States) made of Silver weighing 14.46 g is interesting because it was minted during a time when the city was an important trading center in the Holy Roman Empire, and the coin's design reflects the city's rich history and cultural influences. The coin features the city's coat of arms, which includes a shield with a patriarchal cross, symbolizing the city's connection to the Archdiocese of Magdeburg. The coin's silver content and detailed design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of European currency.
