Interimsthaler Público Deposited
The name given to a satirical silver coin struck at Magdeburg in 1550 and 1551, during the temporary declarations of peace between the contest- ing Protestant and Roman Catholic fac- tions. It has on one side the baptism of the Savior, and on the reverse the figures of Christ and a triple-headed monster. One head is that of an angel, the second bears the Papal tiara, and the third a fool's cap.
