Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Saxony on one side, and the coat of arms of the Holy Roman Empire on the other. This symbolizes the dual authority of the Elector and the Holy Roman Emperor.
