Comment
Mintmaster SGH - Samuel Gottlieb Helbig (Dresden)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick August III, who was the last Elector of Saxony and the first King of Saxony. This period saw the rise of Napoleon and the French Empire, which had a significant impact on the German states, including Saxony. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and its gold content made it a valuable and sought-after item among collectors and traders.
