Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler 1571 coin from the City of Magdeburg is notable for its unique design, which features a depiction of the city's patron saint, St. Maurice, on horseback. This design was chosen to commemorate the city's victory over the Swedish army during the Thirty Years' War, and it has become a symbol of the city's resilience and strength.
