Interesting fact
The 3 Pfennigs coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) featuring Frederick August III, which was minted between 1797 and 1806, is notable for its unique design. The obverse side of the coin features a portrait of Frederick August III, while the reverse side features a depiction of a crowned shield with the Saxon coat of arms, surrounded by a wreath. This design was used for several coins minted during Frederick August III's reign, but the 3 Pfennigs coin is particularly interesting because it was made of copper, which was a relatively inexpensive material at the time. Despite its low value, the coin was still carefully crafted and features a high level of detail, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
