Comment
Mintmark double-cross - Valentin Stockheim (1524-1533) mintmaster in Halberstadt.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Thaler - Albert of Brandenburg ND (1525) from Bishopric of Halberstadt (German States) made of Silver weighing 28.72 g is that it features an image of Albert of Hohenzollern, the Bishop of Halberstadt, on one side, and the Halberstadt Cathedral on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe, and its design reflects the powerful influence of the Catholic Church in the region. Despite its age, this coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists and historians.
