| Beschrijving voorzijde | The city arms of Magdeburg displayed on a quartered shield, featuring an eagle in the lower portion, surmounted by an elaborate crested helmet with foliate mantling extending to either side, all set within a circular field. A Latin legend runs along the outer periphery of the coin, partially visible due to the irregular flan. The overall composition is rendered in the Renaissance heraldic style typical of early seventeenth-century German municipal coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
1618 is not an incidental date. The Defenestration of Prague occurred that May, triggering the Thirty Years' War — a conflict that would reduce Magdeburg to ash by 1631 in one of the most catastrophic sack events of the century. The city's imperial garrison was overwhelmed, and upwards of 20,000 inhabitants were killed. That the municipal authority was still issuing high-fineness gold coinage in the war's opening year speaks to how little anyone anticipated the scale of what followed.
