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, which was added to the obverse side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier thaler coins, and its inclusion on this particular coin was a deliberate choice made by the mint master, Hans Schwarz, to signify the coin's connection to the Electorate of Saxony. This small detail provides a fascinating insight into the history and craftsmanship of coin minting during the 16th century.
