Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler 1618 circulating commemorative coin from the City of Magdeburg (German States) made of Silver weighing 28.58g is that it was minted to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Peace of Westphalia, which ended the Thirty Years' War in 1648. The coin features an image of the Holy Roman Emperor, Ferdinand III, on one side and the Magdeburg Horseman on the other, which symbolizes the city's independence and sovereignty.
