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 Archbishopric, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier issues of the coin, and its inclusion on the 1613 issue was likely done to signify the coin's official status as a circulating currency within the Archbishopric.
