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 1670 and 1675, and is made of silver. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of numismatic history, providing a glimpse into the economic and political landscape of the German States during the 17th century.
