Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅓ 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 1669 and 1670. This coin is a rare and valuable example of a standard circulation coin from the German States during this time period, and its silver content makes it a popular collector's item among numismatists.
