Interesting fact
The 1 Dreier coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) was minted during the reign of Christian I, who was the Elector of Saxony from 1586 to 1591. The coin was made of silver and weighed 0.83 grams. It's interesting to note that the coin's design featured the coat of arms of the Albertinian Line, which was a powerful dynasty that ruled Saxony for over 400 years. The coin's mintage was likely quite low, given its small denomination and the fact that it was only minted for a short period of time. As a result, it's considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
