Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1⁄24 Thaler - Joachim Frederick of Brandenburg 1580-1585 from Archbishopric of Magdeburg (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique combination of religious and political symbols. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of 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 secular symbols reflects the complex power dynamics of the region during the late medieval period.
