Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Kingdom of Saxony, where the coin was minted, was part of the German States, a loose confederation of territories that would eventually become modern-day Germany. The coin's mintage coincided with the height of the Napoleonic Wars, which had a significant impact on European economies and trade. Despite these challenges, the coin's silver content and intricate design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
