Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The Electorate of Saxony, where the coin was minted, was part of the Holy Roman Empire, which was dissolved in 1806. This coin was minted just a few years before that, in 1793, and it features Frederick August III, who was the Elector of Saxony at the time. The coin's composition, made of Billon (.201 silver), was also a common practice during this time period.
