Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Electorate of Saxony, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier coins of the same denomination, making it a distinctive feature of this particular issue.
