Interesting fact
The 3 Pfennige coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) featuring Frederick August I, which was minted between 1695 and 1696, is notable for its unique design. The obverse side of the coin features an image of the king, while the reverse side features a shield with the coat of arms of Saxony, surrounded by a wreath.
