Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The Kingdom of Saxony, where the coin was minted, was part of the German States, a loose confederation of territories that would eventually become modern-day Germany. The coin's mintage was likely a response to the growing need for a standardized currency across the German States, and it features the image of Frederick August I, the ruler of Saxony at the time. The use of gold in the coin's composition also speaks to the value and wealth of the kingdom during this period.
