Comment
Slg. Brettauer 1388Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the liberation of the city of Magdeburg from the plague, which had ravaged the city in the late 17th century. The coin's design features an image of the city's patron saint, St. Maurice, and an inscription that translates to "The Lord has freed us from the plague." This coin serves as a tangible reminder of the city's resilience and gratitude during a time of great hardship.
