Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Magdeburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Hohenzollern, to which Christian William of Brandenburg belonged. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the image of the archbishop's mitre. This feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and adds to its historical and numismatic significance.
