Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅛ 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 issues of the coin, and its inclusion on the 1657 issue was likely done to signify the coin's connection to the Electorate of Saxony and to differentiate it from other coins in circulation.
