Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅔ Thaler coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick August I, who was the Elector of Saxony from 1705 to 1707. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was in decline, and the German states were struggling to maintain their independence and economic stability. Despite these challenges, the ⅔ Thaler coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout the region, and its silver content made it a valuable commodity.
