Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features the portrait of Frederick August II, the King of Saxony from 1841 to 1854. The reverse of the coin features the coat of arms of Saxony, which includes a shield with the symbols of the House of Wettin, the ruling dynasty of Saxony at the time. The coat of arms is surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves, symbolizing strength and durability. This coin is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The 1840s and 1850s saw the rise of nationalism and liberalism, as well as the Revolutions of 1848, which had a significant impact on the German states. Despite these challenges, the Kingdom of Saxony remained a stable and prosperous state, and the 1 Pfennig coin remains a testament to the country's rich history and cultural heritage.
