Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it features an image of John George I, who was the ruling elector at the time of its minting in 1619. This coin was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval in Europe, with the Thirty Years' War taking place just a few years prior. Despite this, the coin's design remains relatively simple and unadorned, reflecting the practicality and functionality of a standard circulation coin.
