Interesting fact
The 1 Dreier 1622 coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and the City of Magdeburg was a key location for the Protestant forces. The coin was likely used to help finance the war efforts and was minted in silver, which was a valuable and widely accepted metal at the time. Despite the turmoil of the war, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the people of Magdeburg during a time of conflict.
