Comment
Mintmark acorn - AnnabergInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Schreckenberger - Moritz 1547 from Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during the reign of Elector Moritz of Saxony, who was a prominent figure during the Renaissance period. He was known for his military campaigns and his patronage of the arts, and his reign saw the establishment of several important cultural institutions in Saxony. The coin itself is a rare and valuable example of early modern European coinage, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
