One interesting fact about the 2 Vereinsthaler coin from the Kingdom of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1858, just a few years before the formation of the North German Confederation in 1867, which marked the beginning of a unified German state. This coin, made of silver and weighing 37.037 grams, was a standard circulation coin during this time and was used in everyday transactions. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for thousands of dollars.
