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 II, who was the Elector of Saxony and King of Poland from 1733 to 1763. He was a member of the House of Wettin and was known for his military campaigns and his support of the arts and sciences. The coin's design was likely created by a skilled engraver and artist of the time, and it showcases the level of craftsmanship and detail that was possible in coin design during the 18th century.
