Interesting fact

The 10 Mark coin from the Kingdom of Saxony (Albertinian Line) features an interesting design element - the obverse side bears the image of King Albert, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Saxon coat of arms, which includes a shield with the symbols of the three kingdoms that made up Saxony: Meissen, Thuringia, and Saxony proper. This design represents the unity of the three regions under one ruler.
