Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The French Revolution, which began in 1789, had a profound impact on the continent, and many countries, including Saxony, were facing political and social unrest. Despite this, the coin still features the traditional imagery of the ruling monarch, Frederick August III, and the coat of arms of Saxony, highlighting the enduring power and influence of the monarchy during this time.
