Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Pfennig - Frederick August I (Silver pattern strike) 1816 from Kingdom of Saxony (Albertinian Line) (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The Congress of Vienna, which took place in 1815, had recently redrawn the borders of many European countries, including Germany, and the Kingdom of Saxony was one of the states that emerged from this process. The coin's design, featuring Frederick August I on one side and the Saxon coat of arms on the other, reflects the new political reality of the time.
