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 was added to the coin's design to signify the coin's issuance by the Elector of Saxony, John George II, who was a member of the House of Wettin. This small detail provides a fascinating glimpse into the history and politics of the time, and highlights the importance of the coin as a symbol of power and authority.
