Interesting fact
The ⅔ Thaler coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) was minted during the reign of John George IV in 1693-1694. It's interesting to note that this coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire, of which Saxony was a part. The coin's design and mintage were likely influenced by the political and economic climate of the time, making it a unique and interesting piece of history.
