Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The Kingdom of Saxony, where the coin was minted, was one of the German states that was undergoing rapid industrialization and urbanization during the 19th century. The coin's mintage was a response to the growing need for a standardized currency that could facilitate trade and commerce across the region. The fact that it was made of Billon, a silver-copper alloy, also reflects the efforts of the Saxon government to create a currency that was both durable and affordable for the general population.
