Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Vereinsthaler coin from the Kingdom of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1861, just a few years before the formation of the North German Confederation in 1867, which ultimately led to the unification of Germany in 1871. This coin, made of silver, was a standard circulation coin during this time of transition and represents a unique piece of German history.
