Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler 1638 coin from the City of Magdeburg (German States) made of Silver features an image of the city's patron saint, St. Maurice, on its reverse side. St. Maurice was a Roman soldier and Christian martyr who was said to have been executed for his religious beliefs. The coin's design was meant to commemorate the city's rich history and cultural heritage, and it remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
