Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) featuring Christian I, which was minted between 1586 and 1591, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Christian I wearing a elaborate Renaissance-style hat, which was a symbol of his status and power. This hat is adorned with a large, ornate brooch that is shaped like a crescent moon. This crescent moon brooch is a nod to Christian I's connection to the House of Wettin, which was a powerful noble family in Germany. The use of this symbol on the coin was a way for Christian I to assert his authority and lineage, and it makes the coin a fascinating piece of history.
