Comment
Mintmaster ILH - Johann Lorenz Holland (Dresden)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 3 Thalers - Frederick August I 1704 from Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) (German States) made of Silver weighing 88.10 g is that it was minted during the reign of Frederick August I, who was the Elector of Saxony from 1694 to 1733. During his reign, he sought to modernize the Saxon economy and military, and this coin was part of an effort to standardize coinage across the German states. The coin's design features an image of Frederick August I on one side and the coat of arms of Saxony on the other, and it was minted in relatively large quantities, making it a common find for collectors today.
