Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "C.S.A." (standing for Christian II, John George, and August) located above the coat of arms on the obverse side. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the joint rule of the three Electors of Saxony during that time period.
