| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a plain field bearing the denomination numeral '2' above the inscription 'PFENNIGE' in bold serifed capital letters, with the four-digit date '1859' centred below, and the mint mark 'F' (for the Dresden Mint at Freiberg) situated in the lower field beneath the date. The design is unadorned and typographic in character, relying entirely on the clarity of the lettering for its aesthetic impact. The composition is framed by a beaded border and a raised outer rim consistent with the obverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John (Johann) ascended the Saxon throne in 1854 following the death of his brother Frederick Augustus II, who died after being thrown from a carriage. These pfennige were struck under John's authority during the early years of his reign, before Saxony's monetary system was absorbed into the unified German coinage framework following the North German Confederation's reorganization of the 1870s. John was a serious classical scholar who published a noted translation of Dante's Commedia under the pseudonym Philalethes — an unusual distinction for a reigning monarch.
