Interesting 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 Holy Roman Empire was in the process of dissolving, leading to a period of political instability and economic uncertainty. Despite these challenges, the Electorate of Saxony continued to mint coins, such as this one, which were used for trade and commerce throughout the region. This coin is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the people of Saxony during a time of great upheaval.
