| Additional information |
The Aureus Magnus was struck by Schwäbisch Hall as a municipal prestige piece during the postwar West German recovery, when several free cities and towns revived historical medal-coinage traditions partly to generate revenue and partly to reassert civic identity after the cultural rupture of the Nazi period. Schwäbisch Hall had medieval roots as a salt-trading town and imperial free city, and the "Magnus" designation deliberately echoed the city's Hohenstaufen-era prominence.
The X# prefix in the standard reference system classifies this as a non-circulating fantasy or medallic issue rather than official state coinage — it never held legal tender status under the Federal Republic.
