Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique triple-portrait design, depicting John Frederick II, John William, and John Frederick III on the same coin. This was a rare design choice for coins during that time period, and it signifies the importance of the three rulers in the Electorate of Saxony.
