Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Albert of Brandenburg 1527 Thaler from the Bishopric of Halberstadt is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.P.Q.R." (Senatus Populusque Romanus) which represents the Roman Senate and People. This symbolism was added to emphasize the coin's connection to the Holy Roman Empire and its claimed descent from the ancient Roman currency.
