Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1/24 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Magdeburg is that it features an image of August of Sachsen-Weissenfels, who was the ruling Duke of Saxe-Weissenfels from 1656 until his death in 1680. The coin was minted during his reign, specifically between 1668 and 1670, and it is made of silver.
