Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique triangular arrangement of the three rulers, John Frederick II, John William, and John Frederick III, on its obverse side. This design was used to symbolize the unity and cooperation between the three rulers, who were all members of the House of Wettin and ruled the Electorate of Saxony (Ernestinian Line) in the 16th century.
