Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in Germany. The Kingdom of Saxony, which was a member of the German Confederation, was in the process of adopting a new constitution and becoming a constitutional monarchy. This coin, minted in 1861, bears the image of King John, who ruled the kingdom during this time of transition. Despite the changes happening in Germany, the coin still maintained the traditional silver content and design of previous Vereinsthaler coins, showing the value of consistency and tradition in the face of change.
