Comment
Minted for usage in Upper Lusatia.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 15 Kreuzers 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 coin was issued in 1666-1667, a period when many European countries were transitioning from a feudal system to a more modern, centralized state. This coin, made of silver, was an important part of the currency system in the Electorate of Saxony and was used in everyday transactions. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the economic and political developments of the time.
