Comment
Similar to KM#993 but with different letteringInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Conventionsthaler coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The coin was minted in 1769, just a few years before the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789, which had a profound impact on the political and social landscape of Europe. Despite this turmoil, the coin remains a testament to the enduring legacy of the Albertinian Line of the House of Wettin, which ruled Saxony for over 400 years.
