Comment
Mintmark star - FreibergInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Spitzgroschen coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it features an image of August I, also known as Augustus I, who was the Elector of Saxony from 1553 to 1555. He was a member of the House of Wettin and played a significant role in the politics of the Holy Roman Empire during his time. The coin's design includes a portrait of August I on one side and the Saxon coat of arms on the other, making it a valuable piece for collectors interested in German history and numismatics.
