Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in the Kingdom of Saxony. The coin was introduced as part of a currency reform aimed at addressing inflation and stabilizing the economy, and its design and composition were carefully chosen to reflect the values and ideals of the ruling Albertinian Line. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item today, a testament to the enduring legacy of the Kingdom of Saxony and its rich numismatic history.
