Interesting 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 1694 to 1733. He was a member of the House of Wettin and was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to modernize the Saxon state. The coin's design was likely created by a skilled engraver of the time and was meant to symbolize the power and authority of the Electorate of Saxony.
