Comment
Slg. Kernbach 3029.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 24 Kreuzer 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 Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and many German states, including Saxony, were struggling to rebuild and reorganize their economies. The minting of this coin, which was made of silver and had a relatively high value, reflects the efforts of the Saxon government to stabilize its economy and promote trade during this time.
