Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The Kingdom of Saxony, where the coin was minted, was one of the German states that was part of the German Confederation, a loose association of 39 states that was formed in 1815 after the Napoleonic Wars. The coin was minted during the reign of King John (1867-1873), who was known for his efforts to modernize the country's economy and infrastructure. The use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, in the coin's production was also a common practice during this time period.
