Never seen one, doesn't mean a thing. Could be one of the German mini kingdoms before they were united, or Austrian before it became Austria, or any number of the small dukedoms that have ceased to exist a long time ago. Lots of history there.

To be exact take this one. http://www.muenzauktion.com/pkkmgbr/item.php5?id=6265&lang=de&curr=EUR About $55!
Its a 1/3 Thaler, a 1 Thaler would be outstanding....even over here! A coin i like to have for my collection. Congrats!
And it is like High Plains Digger said, Sachsen was one of these small kingdoms from this time and the name still lives on as the state name in germany.
