Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it features an image of Frederick August I, who was also known as Frederick Augustus I, on one side, and the coat of arms of Saxony on the other. This coin was minted during his reign from 1710 to 1733 and was made of silver.
