Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler 1570 coin from the City of Magdeburg was made of silver, and it features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of its time. On one side, the coin bears the image of a shield with the city's coat of arms, while on the other side, it features a depiction of the Holy Roman Emperor, Maximilian II. This coin was issued during a time of great change in the Holy Roman Empire, as the Protestant Reformation was gaining momentum and the Empire was facing challenges from external powers. Despite these challenges, the City of Magdeburg continued to thrive, and its coins, like the 1 Thaler 1570, remain a testament to its rich history and cultural heritage.
