Comment
The Kingdom of Saxony (German: Königreich Sachsen), lasting between 1806 and 1918, was an independent member of a number of historical confederacies in Napoleonic through post-Napoleonic Germany. The kingdom was formed from the Electorate of Saxony. From 1871 it was part of the German Empire. It became a free state in the era of Weimar Republic in 1918 after the end of World War I and the abdication of King Frederick Augustus III of Saxony. Its capital was the city of Dresden, and its modern successor state is the Free State of Saxony.Interesting fact
The 2 Pfennige coin from the Kingdom of Saxony (Albertinian Line) featuring Frederick August II, which was minted between 1841 and 1854, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The coin's obverse (front) side features a portrait of Frederick August II, while the reverse (back) side features a depiction of a crowned shield with the Saxon coat of arms. This design was a departure from the traditional design used on Saxon coins, which typically featured a depiction of the ruler on both sides. This unique design element makes the coin a standout among other coins of the time and a interesting piece for collectors.
