Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from the Kingdom of Saxony (Albertinian Line) (German States) made of Copper and weighing 1.50g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Germany. The coin was minted between 1862 and 1873, a period when the German states were unifying under the leadership of Prussia, which would eventually lead to the formation of the German Empire in 1871. This coin is a tangible reminder of the political and economic changes that were taking place in Germany during this time.
