FEATURED WEB PAGE: COINAGE OF SAXONY

This week's Featured Web Page is a picture galley of the coinage of the German state of Saxony.

The coins of Saxony are easily identified by the unique Saxon primary arms, bars with crown. They appear in some form on virtually every Saxon coin, either as the primary device or a central escutcheon. The arms are often split per pale with the crossed swords representing Wittenberg on the left, an old central core of the Saxon domains, with the bars and crown on the right. "SACHSEN", "SAX", or "SAXONIE" appears in the legends.

1763 24 Thaler of Saxony
