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 was taking place around the same time, and the Electorate of Saxony, where this coin was minted, was soon to be abolished and replaced by the Kingdom of Saxony. This coin represents a unique moment in history, as it was minted during the transition from the old Holy Roman Empire to the modern nation-states of Europe.
