Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Spitzgroschen coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Saxon dukes, which was added to the obverse side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier issues of the Spitzgroschen, and its inclusion on this particular coin highlights the attention to detail and craftsmanship of the mint masters who produced it.
