Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Germany. The Kingdom of Saxony, where the coin was issued, was one of the German states that was abolished during the unification of Germany in 1871. The coin was minted in 1909, just a few years before the outbreak of World War I, which would have a profound impact on Germany and the rest of Europe. Despite these changes, the coin remains a tangible connection to the past and a reminder of the rich history of the region.
