Comment
Slg. Kernbach 2962 Slg. Behr 6084Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 60 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 had just ended in 1648, and many German states, including Saxony, were struggling to rebuild and reassert their power. 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.
