Comment
This pattern is very rare. Proof coins also existing.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Conventionsthaler - Frederick August I (Pattern) ND (1820-1827) from Kingdom of Saxony (Albertinian Line) (German States) made of Silver (.833) weighing 28.06 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Germany. The coin was issued during the period of the German Confederation, which was a loose association of 39 German states that existed from 1815 to 1866. This time saw a great deal of political and economic turmoil, including the Revolutions of 1848, which aimed to establish a unified German state. Despite these challenges, the Kingdom of Saxony, where the coin was minted, remained a powerful and influential state in Germany until its eventual integration into the German Empire in 1871.
