Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of three different rulers on its obverse side. The coin was issued during the joint reign of Christian II, John George I, and Augustus, who were all members of the Albertinian Line of the House of Wettin, which ruled the Electorate of Saxony. This coin is a rare example of a coin that features multiple rulers, making it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
