Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden 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 1615, just a few years before the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648 and had a profound impact on the region. Despite the turmoil, the coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, reflecting the economic and political power of the Electorate of Saxony during this time.
