Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The French Revolution was taking place around the same time, and the Electorate of Saxony, where this coin was minted, was soon to be abolished and become part of the Kingdom of Saxony. Despite this turmoil, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the skill of the mint masters and engravers who created it.
