Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued in 1612, just a few years after the Protestant Reformation had begun to take hold in Germany, leading to a series of religious conflicts and political upheavals. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with intricate details and designs that reflect the cultural and artistic traditions of the time.
