Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1⁄24 Thaler - Frederick August II (Gold pattern strike) 1757 from Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) (German States) made of Gold weighing 3.47 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The Seven Years' War had just ended in 1763, and the Electorate of Saxony was facing significant economic and political challenges. Despite these challenges, the minting of this coin shows that the region was still capable of producing high-quality currency, and it serves as a testament to the resilience and craftsmanship of the people of Saxony during this time.
