Interesting fact
The 1757 Frederick August II Thaler from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) features an image of the king on the obverse side, while the reverse side depicts the coat of arms of the Electorate of Saxony. This coin was minted during a time of great change in Europe, as the Seven Years' War was taking place, and it was also a period of significant cultural and intellectual development, with figures like Immanuel Kant and Johann Sebastian Bach contributing to the Enlightenment movement.
