Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Conventionsthaler coin from the Kingdom of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1817, just a few years after the Napoleonic Wars had ended, and it was a time of great economic and political upheaval in Europe. The coin's mintage was a result of the Vienna Congress, which aimed to reorganize Europe after the wars and establish a new monetary system. The Conventionsthaler was one of the first coins to be issued under this new system, and it was intended to be used as a standardized currency across the German states. This coin is a fascinating piece of history that highlights the complexities of European politics and economics during this time period.
