Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Conventionsthaler - Anthony (Pattern) ND (1827-1829) from Kingdom of Saxony (Albertinian Line) (German States) made of Silver (.833) weighing 27.2 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The Conventionsthaler was introduced as a new currency in 1827, and it was intended to replace the various local currencies that were in use across the German states. This coin was minted in the Kingdom of Saxony, which was one of the most powerful and influential states in Germany at the time. Despite its intended use as a standardized currency, the Conventionsthaler was not widely accepted, and it was eventually replaced by the German Empire's gold mark in 1871. This coin is a rare and interesting example of a currency that was minted during a time of great economic and political upheaval.
