Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Dreier coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it was minted during the reign of August I, who was a member of the House of Wettin and ruled Saxony from 1575 to 1586. This coin was made of silver and weighed 0.71 grams, which was a relatively small weight for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the coin was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the German States.
