Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Frederick August II, who was the King of Saxony from 1836 until his death in 1854. During his reign, he was known for his conservative policies and his efforts to maintain the power of the monarchy in the face of growing liberalism and democratic movements. Despite his conservative views, he was also known for his support of the arts and sciences, and he played a significant role in the development of the University of Leipzig. This coin, which was minted during his reign, serves as a tangible reminder of his legacy and the history of the Kingdom of Saxony during that time.
