Comment
Slg. Behr 6120Interesting 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 coin was issued in 1621, just a few years after the end of the Thirty Years' War, which had devastated much of Germany and disrupted trade and commerce. Despite these challenges, the Electorate of Saxony was able to maintain its economic and political stability, and the 24 Kreuzer coin remains a testament to the region's resilience and prosperity during this time.
