| Aanvullende informatie |
John George II ruled Saxony from 1656 to 1680, presiding over a court that prioritized spectacle and artistic patronage to a degree that strained electoral finances considerably. His ducats from this period were struck at Dresden and reflect the Albertinian line's effort to project authority in the aftermath of the Thirty Years' War, which had left Saxony politically diminished and economically damaged after the Elector's father had made the catastrophic miscalculation of switching sides to Sweden too late at Torgau in 1631.
The .986 fineness held through this run — Dresden maintained tight quality control on gold issues even when silver coinage suffered.
