This coin is a 1 Thaler silver coin minted during the reign of King Frederick Augustus I of the Kingdom of Saxony.

The obverse of the coin features a left-facing profile portrait of Frederick Augustus I in uniform, surrounded by the German inscription “FRIEDR . AUGUST KOENIG V. SACHSEN,” which means “Frederick Augustus, King of Saxony.” The reverse of the coin displays the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Saxony, flanked by palm branches, with a crown above. The German inscription “ZEHN EINE FEINE MARK 1823 I. G. S.” around the coin indicates its denomination and minting year.

“I. G. S.” refers to the mint mark of Johann Georg Studer, who was born in AD 1763 and served as the director of the Dresden Mint from AD 1813.

Coat of Arms of the Kingdom of Saxony: The coat of arms of the Kingdom of Saxony consists of a shield with alternating black and yellow stripes, and a green crancelin (crown wreath) running diagonally from the upper left to the lower right.

The Dresden Mint was established in AD 1556 and began minting for the German Empire in AD 1872. Around AD 1876, the mint reached its peak production, but its operations began to decline thereafter, leading to the dismissal of many workers. The mint ultimately ceased operations in AD 1887.

This silver coin was issued as a circulating currency during the reign of King Frederick Augustus I of the Kingdom of Saxony, who ruled from AD 1806 to AD 1827. Following the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire, Saxony was elevated to a kingdom, making him its first king. His reign coincided with the Napoleonic Wars, during which he allied with Napoleon and remained a loyal ally. Despite his support for Napoleon, he faced setbacks after Napoleon’s defeat in AD 1815, resulting in Saxony losing some of its territories.

此枚錢幣為薩克森王國的國王腓特烈·奧古斯特一世在位期間鑄造的1塔勒銀幣。

銀幣的正面是腓特烈·奧古斯特一世的側面肖像，面朝左側，身著制服，錢幣周圍以德文刻有銘文「FRIEDR . AUGUST KOENIG V. SACHSEN」，意思是薩克森國王腓特烈·奧古斯特一世。硬幣的背面則刻有薩克森王國的國徽，國徽的兩側有棕櫚枝包圍，上方有一頂王冠，錢幣周圍以德文刻有銘文「ZEHN EINE FEINE MARK 1823 I. G. S.」，標示了此枚硬幣的面額和鑄造年分。

I. G. S.則為鑄幣家Johann Georg Studer的鑄幣記號，出生於公元1763年，他自公元1813年起擔任德勒斯登鑄幣廠廠長。

王國國徽:
薩克森王國的國徽由一面黑黃條紋相間的盾牌組成，從盾牌的左上角有一條綠色的王冠花環條延伸到右下角。

德勒斯登鑄幣廠於公元1556年建立，並在公元1872年開始為德意志帝國鑄造貨幣。約在公元1876年，該鑄幣廠的生產達到頂峰，但此後其營運開始走下坡，許多工人不得不被解雇。最終，鑄幣廠於公元1887年結束運作。

此枚銀幣為薩克森王國的國王腓特烈‧奧古斯特一世在位期間發行的流通貨幣。腓特烈‧奧古斯特一世統治期間為公元1806年到公元1827年。由於神聖羅馬帝國的解體，薩克森升格為王國，他因此成為薩克森的第一位國王。他的統治期間正值拿破崙戰爭時期，並在這段時間內與拿破崙結盟，成為其忠誠的盟友。雖然他支持拿破崙，但在公元1815年拿破崙戰敗後遭遇挫折，薩克森因此失去了部分領土。
