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 Electorate of Saxony on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design during John George I's reign. This shield was not present on previous issues of the coin, and it was a distinctive feature of the Albertinian Line of the House of Wettin, to which John George I belonged. This feature makes the coin stand out among other coins of the time and adds to its historical significance.
