Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Ernestinian line of the House of Wettin, which was a powerful dynasty that ruled Saxony for centuries. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and adds to its historical significance.
