Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Groschen coin from the Archbishopric of Magdeburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Hohenzollern, to which Christian William of Brandenburg belonged. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the close relationship between the Archbishopric and the House of Hohenzollern, and it sets the coin apart from other coins issued by the Archbishopric during this time period.
