Comment
Swan - DresdenInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Schreckenberger - John George I (Engelsgroschen) 1621 from Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of John George I, who was the Elector of Saxony from 1611 until his death in 1656. During his reign, the Electorate of Saxony was facing significant economic challenges, including inflation and debasement of the currency. The minting of this coin was likely an attempt to address these issues and stabilize the economy. Additionally, the coin's design, which features the image of John George I, reflects the political and cultural influences of the time.
