Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The Kingdom of Saxony, where the coin was minted, was one of the many German states that were undergoing rapid industrialization and urbanization during this period. This led to a growing need for a standardized currency, and the ⅓ Thaler coin was one of the coins that were introduced to meet this need. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not particularly valuable, but it played an important role in everyday transactions and was widely used by the people of Saxony.
