Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Ducats 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 during the reign of Frederick August I, who ruled from 1717 to 1721, a period marked by the transition from the Holy Roman Empire to the German States. This coin, made of gold (.986) and weighing 10.40g, was a significant denomination at the time and reflects the economic and political shifts that were taking place in the region.
