Interesting fact

The ⅙ Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Saxony (Albertinian Line) features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Saxony, which includes a lion and a shield with the symbols of the Holy Roman Empire. This design was used during the reign of King John, who ruled from 1855 to 1856.
