Interesting fact
The 1 Dreier coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Wettin, which was the ruling dynasty of Saxony at the time. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the denomination. The inclusion of this shield symbolizes the connection between the ruling family and the coinage of the region, and it adds an extra layer of historical significance to the coin.
