Interesting fact
The 3 Thalers - John George II (Klippe) 1676 coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) features an interesting design element - the portrait of John George II is depicted in a unique "klippe" style, which refers to the way the hair is depicted, with each strand individually detailed and curled. This distinctive feature makes the coin stand out among other coins of the time and adds to its numismatic appeal.
