Comment
Slg. Behr 6104Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 24 Kreuzer - John George I 1621 from Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and the Electorate of Saxony was a key player in the conflict. The coin's design, featuring the image of John George I, was meant to symbolize the Elector's power and influence in the region. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout the German States.
