Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Ernestinian 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, surrounded by the inscription "SAXONIAE ELECTOR" (Elector of Saxony). This design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the same denomination and time period, and highlights the importance of the House of Wettin in the history of Saxony.
