Comment
Mintmark acorn - AnnabergInteresting 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, which was a powerful state in the Holy Roman Empire during the 16th century. This shield is placed above the crowned bust of Moritz, the ruling elector at the time, and is a distinctive feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of the same era.
