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 ruler of Saxony from 1746 until his death in 1763. He was known for his efforts to modernize the country and promote the arts, and his reign saw the construction of many notable buildings and landmarks in Saxony. The coin itself is made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal for coinage at the time.
