Comment
Varieties exist.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. John George III was the Elector of Saxony during a period of conflict and political instability, and the coin reflects the economic and political shifts that were taking place at the time. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the enduring legacy of the Albertinian Line of the House of Wettin.
