Comment
Mintmark acorn - AnnabergInteresting fact
The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Moritz, the Elector of Saxony, while the reverse features the Saxon coat of arms with the motto "Pro Libertate et Justitia" (For Liberty and Justice) surrounding it. This coin was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe, and its design reflects the importance of religious freedom and justice during that period.
