Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Frederick August I, who was the King of Saxony from 1806 until his death in 1827. He was a member of the House of Wettin and ruled during a time of great political and social change in Europe, including the Napoleonic Wars and the subsequent Congress of Vienna. Despite the challenges of this period, Frederick August I was known for his conservative and reactionary policies, which aimed to maintain the power and influence of the nobility and aristocracy. This coin, minted in 1825, is a testament to his reign and the cultural and historical significance of the Kingdom of Saxony during that time.
