Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Germany. The Kingdom of Saxony, which was a state within the German Empire, was ruled by Frederick August III, who was the last king of Saxony. The coin was minted between 1908 and 1913, a period of significant political and social unrest in Germany, which ultimately led to the fall of the monarchy and the establishment of the Weimar Republic in 1919. Despite this tumultuous period, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
