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 economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick August III, who was the Elector of Saxony from 1769 to 1778.

This coin, made of gold and weighing 3.5 grams, was used as a means of exchange and commerce during this time of transition.
