Comment
Mintmaster PS - Peter Schrader, Mintmaster in Halle and Magdeburg 1627-1645Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1638 2 Thalers (Domkapitel) coin from the Archbishopric of Magdeburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Archbishopric, which was not present on earlier issues of the coin. This addition was made to signify the authority and power of the Archbishopric and to differentiate it from other coins in circulation.
