Saxonian coat of arms
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Dreier coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it features a unique blend of both Gothic and Renaissance styles in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts the coat of arms of the House of Wettin, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a lion passant, which was a common motif in Renaissance art. This blending of styles reflects the cultural and artistic influences of the time period in which the coin was minted.
