Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 8 Pfennige - Frederick August I (Pattern) 1808 from Kingdom of Saxony (Albertinian Line) (German States) made of Silver (.999) is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1808, just a few years after the Napoleonic Wars had ended, and during a period of political upheaval and restructuring in the German states. The coin's design and mintage were likely influenced by these events, and its production may have been impacted by the economic and political changes of the time.
