Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it features an image of Frederick August I, also known as Frederick Augustus I, who was the Elector of Saxony from 1709 until his death in 1733. He was a member of the House of Wettin and ruled during a time of great political and cultural change in Europe. The coin's design includes an inscription in Latin that translates to "Frederick Augustus, by the grace of God, Elector of Saxony." This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history that provides a glimpse into the political and economic landscape of 18th century Europe.
