Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Moritz 1547-1548 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 (front) side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier issues of the coin, and its inclusion on the 1547-1548 issue was a deliberate choice made by the mint to signify the coin's connection to the Electorate of Saxony. This small detail provides a fascinating insight into the history and symbolism of the coin, and highlights the attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into its creation.
