Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, known as the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). The war was fought primarily in Germany and involved many European powers, including the Electorate of Saxony, where this coin was minted. Despite the conflict, the coin still bears the image of John George I, the ruling elector at the time, signifying the continued importance of the electorate and its currency during this period.
