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 on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design during John George III's reign. This shield was not present on previous or subsequent issues of the coin, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
