Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅛ Thaler coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it features an image of Frederick August I, who was the Elector of Saxony from 1704 to 1705. He was a member of the House of Wettin, a powerful dynasty that ruled Saxony for over 800 years. The coin's design includes a portrait of Frederick August I on one side and an image of the Saxon coat of arms on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history, providing a glimpse into the political and economic landscape of early 18th-century Germany.
