Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅔ Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Magdeburg is that it features an image of August of Sachsen-Weissenfels, who was the ruling duke at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Archbishopric on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region, and its design reflects the influences of both the ducal and ecclesiastical powers that were present in the German States during the 17th century.
