| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays the crowned Saxon arms — the barry-of-ten shield charged with a bend engrailed — rendered in fine relief and flanked on either side by symmetrical sprays of grain or palm fronds whose tips meet below the shield, forming a wreath-like surround. A royal crown with cross finial surmounts the escutcheon. The plain, unlegended field directs full attention to the heraldic device, presenting the arms in a bold, neoclassical style characteristic of early 19th-century Saxon coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Saxony's adoption of a reorganized copper coinage in 1806–1808 came directly in the wake of Napoleon's restructuring of German territories following Jena. Frederick August III — elevated to King Frederick August I by Napoleon in December 1806 as reward for switching sides — needed a coinage that reflected his new royal dignity. The brief window of 1808–1810 for this type makes surviving examples relatively scarce in any grade.
