Interesting fact
The 1709-1711 Frederick August I 1/48 Thaler from Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) (German States) is a rare coin that features an error in its design. The coin was minted with a mistake in the die, resulting in a misprinted date. Instead of reading "1709-1711," the date on the coin reads "1709-1701." This error makes the coin particularly valuable to collectors, as it is a unique piece of numismatic history.
