Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Magdeburg, minted in 1612 during the reign of Christian William of Brandenburg, was made of silver, but it was also unique in that it featured a depiction of the Archbishop's mitre on one side, and the Brandenburg coat of arms on the other. This coin was a symbol of the close relationship between the Archbishopric and the Brandenburg dynasty, and it highlights the complex political and religious landscape of the German States during that time period.
