| Additional information |
Saxony adopted the Neugroschen as part of its post-1838 Dresden Convention coinage, but by 1867 the denomination was already living on borrowed time. The North German Confederation's push toward decimal unification meant this issue was struck knowing full well it would be replaced — the 10 Pfennig equivalence stamped alongside the traditional Neugroschen value was a deliberate transitional concession, preparing Saxon commerce for the imperial system that arrived with the Kaiserreich in 1871. Production continued through 1873 simply to cover circulation demand while new imperial coinage ramped up.
