Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Albert of Brandenburg 1525 Thaler from the Bishopric of Halberstadt is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Halberstadt, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier issues of the Thaler, and its inclusion on this particular coin highlights the importance of the Bishopric of Halberstadt in the German States during this time period.
