Interesting fact

The 1 Dreier coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) features an image of Frederick August I, who was the Elector of Saxony from 1706 to 1712. What's interesting is that Frederick August I was also the King of Poland during the same time period, making him the first and only king of Poland to also serve as the Elector of Saxony. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history that highlights the complex political landscape of Europe during the early 18th century.
