Interesting 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 30 Groschen coin was minted in 1622, just a few years into the war, and its production was likely influenced by the economic and political upheaval of the time.
