Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 8 Pfennige coin from the Kingdom of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1808-1809, just a few years after the Napoleonic Wars had ended, and during a period of political upheaval and restructuring in Germany. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with its silver content and detailed design showcasing the skill of the mint's engravers and craftsmen.
