Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the baptism of John George I, who was the Elector of Saxony from 1611 until his death in 1656. The coin features an image of John George I on one side and a depiction of the baptism of Jesus on the other. The coin's mintage was limited to only 3,000 pieces, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
