⛪ Germany's Oldest Gothic Cathedral ⛪
What's up plebs?!
Today I'd like to show you another of my shiny silver German coins. Once again, it's a commemorative coin, this time from 2005.
Let's check it out:
So, this is a coin commemorating the 1200 years of Magdeburg (1200 JAHRE MAGDEBURG), the capital of the German state Saxony-Anhalt.
On the coin they have decided to depict the cathedral of Magdeburg aka the cathedral of Saints Maurice and Catherine. It's a Lutheran cathedral and the oldest Gothic cathedral of Germany.
Feel free to visit Wikipedia if you'd like to read more about the city or the cathedral, in the meantime here's a short showing the exterior of the latter. Pretty impressive!
I think @kerrislravenhill will like it 🙃
Here's how the coin looks from the other side
The standard stuff. Minting date, denomination etc etc and of course a unique design of the angry imperial chicken. This one a bit on the skinny side though 😄
And as always, we get a unique inscription on the edge:
It reads
MAGADOBURG 805..MAGDEBURG 2005..
Usually Germans are really creative with these inscriptions but this time they got a bit lazy. Just the city's founding/coin issue dates.
Yawn 🥱
When it comes to silver we have 18 g of 0.925 purity. Nice and juicy ❤️
Ok friends, this is it for today!
In other news, today I encountered one of the biggest and unique critters ever out in the wild.
Can't wait to blog about it tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Hmmm, only a little better 🦇
I'll need to work on the light show.
👻
Why the clown hat lol?
And what's that thing on the other side??
!PIZZA
No idea lol
It's such a beautiful cathedral. I've never been to Magdeburg but this makes me want to visit. 1200 years is simply incredible, Germany has one of the best and rich history.
They really need to start feeding those angry chickens, how else will they win a cock fight? Cool video short, not many graves in the grassy knoll there, I guess you had to be important to get buried there. Nice silver, sterling, and although the design isn't the best, it's silver! That's all that really counts!

You just got DUO from @thebighigg.
They have 1/1 DUO calls left.
Learn all about DUO here.
Lmao
Didn't that castle look much better than the boring TV box on your other coin..
!gifu
Sir I am a minimalist !
!Pimp !gifu
Maybe the 2005 designers don't find edge inscription so important I guess.
Will be waiting to see your new critter by tomorrow, always fascinating.
I think they just got lazy lol
It's a nice coin. I didn't know that was the oldest cathedral there.
❤️
Can’t wait to hear about the creature you encountered because nature always has surprises. Between ,those silver details sound like a real treasure!
