Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in the Kingdom of Saxony. The coin was issued in 1837, just a few years after the Saxon government had introduced a new currency system, the "Thaler" system, which replaced the old "Gulden" system. This change was made to simplify the currency system and make it more modern, but it also caused some economic disruption and controversy at the time. Despite these challenges, the 5 Thalers coin remained a popular and widely used denomination during Frederick August II's reign, and it remains a valuable collector's item today.
