Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Magdeburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Hohenzollern, to which Christian William of Brandenburg belonged. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the bond between the Archbishopric and the House of Hohenzollern, and it can be seen on the reverse side of the coin, below the image of Christian William. This small detail highlights the rich history and symbolism that went into the creation of this coin, making it a truly fascinating piece for collectors and history enthusiasts.
