| Beschrijving voorzijde | The city arms of Magdeburg are depicted within a central circle, showing the fortified city gate flanked by two towers, with a figure of the Virgin Mary enthroned above the gateway, all rendered in high relief characteristic of 16th-century German hammered coinage. The date 72 (for 1572) is divided by the mintmaster's symbol and appears prominently in the upper portion of the legend. The circular Latin legend reads MONETA. NOVA. CIVITA. MAGDEBVRG., running along the periphery of the coin. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Magdeburg's civic thalers of the 1570s were struck at a moment of sustained tension between the city's Lutheran magistracy and the surrounding Archbishopric — a conflict that predated the Reformation wars and would eventually culminate in the catastrophic sack of 1631, when imperial and League forces under Tilly reduced one of Germany's largest cities to ash and killed upwards of 20,000 inhabitants. The city's independent coinage was an assertion of municipal autonomy, not merely a commercial convenience.
Davenport's GT I listing places this squarely within the broad thaler series traceable through the Schrock corpus. The MB#51 reference suggests a relatively confined emission.
