Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ 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 other coins of the same denomination from the same period. This shield was added to signify the coin's origin and authenticity, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
