It is unclear but estimated that this coin is a pattern strike.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Goldgulden from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Electorate of Saxony, which was not typically included on other coins of the time. This shield was added to signify the coin's issuance by the Electorate and to differentiate it from other gold coins in circulation.
