| Additional information |
Christian I ruled Electoral Saxony for just six years before dying at thirty years old in 1591, likely from alcoholism — a reign too short to generate large coin volumes but long enough to leave a modestly complex series across multiple denominations. The quarter thaler was struck at Dresden and Annaberg, and the two mints produced distinguishable issues. Kohl's attribution separates them by mintmaster marks, which remain the primary tool for precise attribution on this type.
