Comment
Slg. Koch 1912.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of John Frederick II, the Elector of Saxony, on one side, and the Saxon coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe, and its design reflects the complex political and religious tensions of the era.
