Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Frederick August I 1824 from Kingdom of Saxony (Albertinian Line) (German States) coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1824, just a few years after the Congress of Vienna, which was a conference of European powers that aimed to reorganize Europe after the Napoleonic Wars. This period saw the rise of nationalism and the reorganization of many European countries, including the German states. The coin's mintage and design reflect this tumultuous time, with the obverse featuring an image of Frederick August I, the King of Saxony, and the reverse featuring the coat of arms of the Albertinian Line, which was a powerful dynasty that ruled Saxony during this period. The coin's gold content and weight also reflect the economic changes happening at the time, as gold coins were becoming increasingly important in international trade and commerce.
