Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The Kingdom of Saxony, where the coin was minted, was one of the many German states that existed before the unification of Germany in 1871. The coin's mintage period, 1819-1823, saw the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the Congress of Vienna, which had a significant impact on the political and economic landscape of Europe, including Germany. The coin's composition, Billon (.437 silver), was also a common alloy used in coinage during this time period.
