Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - John George II (Wechseltaler) 1671 from Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design element - a stylized portrait of John George II on the obverse, surrounded by a wreath of flowers and foliage. This design was meant to symbolize the Elector's connection to nature and the natural world, and was a departure from the more traditional depictions of rulers on coins at the time.
