Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. This coin was issued during the reign of John George I, who ruled the Electorate of Saxony from 1613 to 1615. The use of silver in the coin's minting process was a deliberate choice, as it was a symbol of wealth and power, and it was also more resistant to wear and tear than other metals. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, and its silver content makes it a unique piece of history.
