Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of two rulers, John Frederick I and George, on its obverse side. This is a distinctive feature of the coin, as it was not common for coins of that time to have two rulers depicted together. This coin is a rare example of a coin that highlights the political alliance between the two rulers and the Electorate of Saxony during that period.
