Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1620 Christian William of Brandenburg 1/16 Thaler coin is that it features a unique blend of religious and political symbolism. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Christian William, the Archbishop of Magdeburg, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the House of Hohenzollern, which was the ruling dynasty of Brandenburg at the time. This blending of religious and political symbols reflects the complex power dynamics of the Holy Roman Empire, where the Church and secular rulers often held significant influence over one another.
