Comment
Varieties existInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅔ 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 on the reverse side, which was not present on earlier thaler coins. This addition was a deliberate choice made by John George II to emphasize his authority as the Elector of Saxony and to distinguish his coins from those of his predecessors.
