Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Thaler - Frederick August I 1698-1705 from Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick August I, who was the Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, and it was used as a means of standardizing currency across the German states. The use of silver in the coin's minting was also significant, as it was a valuable and widely accepted metal at the time, and its use in coinage helped to establish the Thaler as a reliable and trustworthy form of currency.
