Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅓ Thaler coin from the Electorate of Saxony is that it features an image of Frederick August I, also known as Frederick Augustus I, who was the Elector of Saxony from 1706 to 1707. He was a member of the House of Wettin and ruled during a time of great political and economic change in the region. The coin's design includes an inscription of his name and title, as well as an image of the Saxon coat of arms. This coin is a rare and valuable example of early 18th-century numismatics and is highly sought after by collectors.
