Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 40 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. As a result, coins from this period, such as the 40 Groschen, are highly sought after by collectors today.
