Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique double portrait of both John I and George, which was a common practice during that time period in the Ernestinian Line of the Electorate of Saxony. This coin is a rare example of a coin that has two rulers on it, which makes it stand out among other coins of that era.
