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 1824, just a few years after the Congress of Vienna, which had established a new political order in Europe following the Napoleonic Wars. The coin's minting was a part of an effort to standardize currency across the German states, and it features an image of Frederick August I, the King of Saxony, on one side and an image of the Saxon coat of arms on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item today, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
