Interesting fact

The 1 Vereinsthaler coin from the Kingdom of Saxony (Albertinian Line) was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1857, just a few years before the formation of the North German Confederation in 1867, which ultimately led to the unification of Germany in 1871. The coin's design, featuring the portrait of King John, was meant to symbolize the kingdom's independence and sovereignty during a period of political upheaval.
