Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the death of John George III, the Elector of Saxony, in 1691. The coin's design features an image of the Elector on the obverse, and an image of his coat of arms on the reverse. The coin's silver content and relatively low weight make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists and historians interested in the history of the German States.
