Interesting fact
The Joachim Frederick of Brandenburg 1576 Dreier coin is notable for its unique design, which features a portrait of the archbishop Joachim Frederick on one side and the coat of arms of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg on the other. This design was unusual for coins of that time period, as most coins featured images of rulers or other important figures, rather than religious leaders. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted specifically to commemorate a religious figure, and it provides insight into the importance of religion in the German States during the 16th century.
