Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in the Holy Roman Empire. John George IV was the Elector of Saxony and the coin was minted in 1692, a year before the Empire was dissolved. This coin is a rare example of a coin minted during this transitional period and is a valuable piece for collectors of historical coins.
