Comment
Mintmaster ILH - Johann Lorenz HollandInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it features an image of Frederick August I, who was the Elector of Saxony from 1708 to 1709. He was a member of the House of Wettin, a powerful noble family that ruled Saxony for over 800 years. The coin's design was likely created by a skilled engraver and artist of the time, and it showcases the intricate details and craftsmanship that were characteristic of 18th-century coinage.
