Interesting fact

The obverse of the coin features an image of Frederick August I, the King of Saxony, while the reverse features a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Saxony. This coin was minted during a time of great change in Europe, as Napoleon's military campaigns were underway and the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved. Despite these changes, the Kingdom of Saxony remained a powerful and influential state in Germany during this period.
