Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Germany. Frederick August III was the last king of Saxony, and his reign saw the fall of the German Empire and the rise of the Weimar Republic. This coin, minted in 1905, was a symbol of the old order, but it also represents the turmoil and transformation that was taking place in Germany during that time.
