Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features the portrait of Elector Frederick Christian of Saxony, who was the ruler of the Electorate of Saxony from 1763 until his death in 1785. The coin was minted during his reign, and it is one of the few coins that feature his portrait. This makes it a unique and interesting piece for collectors of German coins.
