Interesting fact
The 3 Pfennigs coin from the Kingdom of Saxony (Albertinian Line) features an image of Frederick August I, who was the King of Saxony from 1825 to 1833. The coin was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at that time. However, what makes this coin interesting is that it was produced during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was minted during the period of the German Confederation, which was a loose association of 39 German states that existed from 1815 to 1866. This period saw a lot of political and economic upheaval, including the Revolutions of 1848, which aimed to create a unified German state. Despite these challenges, the 3 Pfennigs coin remained a widely used and important form of currency during this time.
