Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it features an image of Frederick August I, who was the Elector of Saxony from 1702 to 1703. He was a member of the House of Wettin and played an important role in the politics of the Holy Roman Empire during his time. The coin's design was likely meant to promote his image and reinforce his authority as a leader.
