| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a plain, unadorned field bearing the denomination and date arranged in three lines: the numeral '8' at the top, the inscription 'PFENNIGE' in bold capital letters across the centre, and the date '1809' below. The lettering is large, deeply struck, and fills the flan in a forthright typographic style with no additional ornament, border, or legend. This austere design is consistent with the utilitarian aesthetic employed for Saxon minor coinage of the Napoleonic era. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pattern coinage of this type was produced in the immediate aftermath of Napoleon's reorganization of German territories — Saxony was elevated to a kingdom in 1806 as direct reward for Frederick August's alliance at Jena. The 8 Pfennige denomination in gold makes little economic sense as a circulating coin, which is precisely the point: these were presentation pieces, likely struck for court distribution or submission to the king himself for approval of a proposed coinage reform that never materialized.
The Schlumberger reference places this among a handful of gold Proben from the 1808–1809 period, none of which entered circulation.
