Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the death of Christian, Bishop of Halberstadt, in 1626. The coin features an image of the bishop on one side and a depiction of the Halberstadt Cathedral on the other. The coin was minted in silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time, and was widely used for currency and commemorative coins. The fact that this coin was minted to honor a religious figure and features a prominent religious building suggests that religion played an important role in the culture and society of the German States during this time period.
