Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Guldengroschen coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Ernestinian Line) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued in 1522, just a few years after the Protestant Reformation began in Germany, which had a significant impact on the economy and trade of the region. Additionally, the coin was minted during the reign of Frederick III, who was the first Elector of Saxony and a prominent figure in the Holy Roman Empire. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political climate of the time.
