Interesting fact
The 1 Dreier coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and many German states, including Saxony, were struggling to rebuild their economies and maintain political stability. Despite these challenges, the coinage of Saxony during this period remained consistent and reliable, with the 1 Dreier coin being a popular denomination for everyday transactions.
