Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Magdeburg is that it features an image of August of Sachsen-Weissenfels, who was the ruling prince of the Duchy of Saxe-Weissenfels from 1656 until his death in 1680. The coin was minted during his reign, specifically between 1668 and 1669. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin from this time period and region, and it is highly sought after by collectors today.
