Comment
Mintmark swan with spread wings - DresdenInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 30 Groschen 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, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a significant impact on the coinage of many German states, including Saxony. The coin's silver content and weight were carefully regulated to maintain their value during this time of economic upheaval.
