Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler coin from the Electorate of Saxony is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1706-1707, during the reign of Frederick August I, also known as Augustus II, who was the Elector of Saxony and King of Poland. This was a period of significant economic growth and trade, with the rise of merchant classes and the development of new technologies. The coin itself is made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal at the time, and its design features the image of Frederick August I on one side and the coat of arms of Saxony on the other. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item and a symbol of the rich history and culture of the region.
