Comment
Mintmark anchor and 3 swans - ZwickauInteresting 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 coin was issued in 1621, just a few years after the end of the Thirty Years' War, which had a profound impact on the region's economy and political landscape. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, with intricate designs and inscriptions that reflect the cultural and artistic traditions of the time.
