Comment
Mintmark hunting horn between deer antlers - LeipzigInteresting 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 profound impact on the region and led to significant changes in the way coins were minted and used. The 30 Groschen coin, made of silver, was an important part of the currency system during this time and was used widely throughout the German States. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the people who used it.
