Interesting fact
The 1 Guldengroschen coin from the Archbishopric of Magdeburg, minted during the reign of Albert IV of Brandenburg in 1525-1526, features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Archbishopric on the reverse side. This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate the coin's origin and authenticity, and it has become a distinctive feature of coins from this region and time period.
