Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic change in the Kingdom of Saxony. The coin was introduced as part of a new currency system implemented by Frederick August I in 1824, which aimed to stabilize the economy and simplify trade. The use of billon, a mixture of silver and copper, was a common practice during this time period, as it was more affordable and accessible than pure silver. Despite the economic challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians today.
