Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Pfennigs coin from the Kingdom of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it features an image of Frederick August I, who was the King of Saxony from 1806 until his death in 1827. He was a member of the House of Wettin and ruled during a time of great political and social change in Europe, including the Napoleonic Wars and the subsequent Congress of Vienna. Despite the turmoil of the time, Frederick August I was known for his conservative and reactionary policies, which often put him at odds with the liberal movements that were gaining traction during his reign.
