Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Dreier coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1690-1691, a period marked by the end of the Thirty Years' War and the beginning of the Age of Enlightenment. This coin was likely used in everyday transactions during this time, and its silver content made it a valuable and reliable form of currency.
