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 1836-1837, a period when the German states were in the process of adopting a standardized currency, the Vereinsthaler, which replaced the various local currencies that were previously used. This coin, minted during the reign of Frederick August II, was part of that transition, and its design and composition reflect the efforts to create a unified currency for the German states.
