Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler (Domkapitel) 1638 from Archbishopric of Magdeburg (German States) made of Silver features an image of the Archbishop of Magdeburg, Johann Wilhelm von Sachsen-Weimar, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Archbishopric on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe, and its design reflects the complex power dynamics at play in the region during that time.
