Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Magdeburg, minted during the reign of Joachim Frederick of Brandenburg in 1583-1584, features an unusual design element - a small image of a horse on the reverse side. This horse is believed to represent the coat of arms of the House of Hohenzollern, which was the ruling dynasty of Brandenburg at the time. The inclusion of this symbol on the coin was likely a nod to the powerful noble family and their association with the region.
