Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it was minted during the reign of George, who was the Duke of Saxony from 1530 to 1533. During his reign, George introduced a new coinage system that included the 1 Pfennig coin, which was made of silver and had a unique design featuring the coat of arms of Saxony on one side and the image of George on the other. This coin was an important part of the currency system in the German States during the 16th century and is now a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
