Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in the Kingdom of Saxony. The coin was minted in 1855-1856, during the reign of King John, who was the last king of the Albertinian Line of the House of Wettin. This was a time of political and economic upheaval in Saxony, as the kingdom was facing pressure from the rising power of Prussia and the growing movement for German unification. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the time.
