Interesting fact
The 1 Dreier coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) features an image of Frederick August II, who was the Elector of Saxony from 1760 to 1762. What's interesting is that Frederick August II was only 19 years old when he became Elector, making him one of the youngest rulers in Saxon history. Despite his young age, he was known for his progressive policies and his efforts to modernize the Saxon state.
