Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Magdeburg is that it features an image of August of Sachsen-Weissenfels, who was the Duke of Saxe-Weissenfels and a member of the House of Wettin. He was also a prominent military leader during the Thirty Years' War. The coin was minted in 1638 to commemorate his enthronement as the Duke of Saxe-Weissenfels.
