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, the ruling dynasty of Saxony at the time. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This design element was added to the coin to signify the connection between the ruling family and the coinage, and it can be found on many other coins from this era and region.
