Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political upheaval in the Electorate of Saxony. The coin was issued by Ernest, Albert, and William III, who were the ruling dukes of the Albertinian Line of the House of Wettin, and it was minted during a period of conflict between the Albertinian and Ernestine branches of the family. Despite this, the coin still bears the image of all three rulers, reflecting the complex political dynamics of the time.
