Interesting fact
The ⅔ Thaler coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) featuring Frederick August II, issued in 1763, was made of silver and weighed 19.2 grams. It's interesting to note that the coin's weight and silver content were carefully regulated by the Saxon government to ensure its authenticity and value. In fact, the coin's weight was guaranteed by a special department called the "Coinage Office," which was responsible for overseeing the production and distribution of coins in the Electorate of Saxony. This attention to detail and commitment to quality helped establish the ⅔ Thaler as a reliable and trustworthy form of currency in the region.
