Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Germany. The Kingdom of Saxony, which was a state within the German Empire, was ruled by Frederick August III, who was the last king of Saxony. This coin was minted during his reign, which lasted from 1905 to 1912.
