Comment
KM lists 1845 G but that doesn't agree with the dates for Johann Georg Grohmann (1841-1844). AKS lists 1845 F.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in the Kingdom of Saxony. The coin was introduced in 1841, just a few years after the Saxon government had introduced a new currency system, the "Vereinsthaler", which was intended to simplify trade and commerce across the German states. The Neugroschen coin was a key part of this system, and it was used widely throughout the kingdom until it was replaced by the German Empire's currency in 1871. Despite its relatively short lifespan, the Neugroschen coin remains an important piece of numismatic history and a testament to the economic and political developments of the time.
