Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 120 Kreuzer coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a significant impact on the coinage of many German states, including Saxony. As a result, coins like the 120 Kreuzer were produced in large quantities to help finance the war effort and support the economy. Despite the challenges of this time period, the 120 Kreuzer coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item today.
