Interesting 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 economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in the mid-18th century, a period marked by the rise of Enlightenment ideas and the emergence of modern nation-states. The Electorate of Saxony, where the coin was minted, was a powerful and influential state in the German region, and the coin reflects the political and economic dynamics of that time.
