Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers (Augsburg Interim) ND (1549) from City of Magdeburg (German States) coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The Augsburg Interim was a temporary currency standard implemented by the Holy Roman Empire in 1549, following the devaluation of the previous currency, the Guldengroschen. This coin was minted in the city of Magdeburg, which was an important trading center and a member of the Hanseatic League, a powerful mercantile and cultural organization that dominated trade in the region. The coin's silver content and intricate design reflect the city's wealth and economic influence during this time.
