Götz# 3917, 3918Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Ernestinian Line) is that it features an image of Frederick III, who was the Elector of Saxony from 1486 until his death in 1525. He was a significant figure in German history, known for his role in the Protestant Reformation and his support for Martin Luther. The coin's design, which includes Frederick's portrait and the coat of arms of Saxony, reflects the political and religious influences of the time.
