Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Wettin, which was the ruling dynasty of Saxony at the time. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the image of John George I. This feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same denomination and era, and highlights the importance of the Wettin dynasty in the history of Saxony.
