We presently have a single currency for the Kingdom of Saxony between 1806 and 1873, ignoring the reform which took place in 1841. Could we please revise the current currency to

Thaler (1806-1841)

12 Pfennige = 1 Groschen • 24 Groschen = 1 Thaler • 1⅓ Thaler = 1 Conventionsthaler

and create a new currency

Thaler (1841-1873)

10 Pfennige = 1 Neu-Groschen • 30 Neu-Groschen = 1 Thaler (Vereinsthaler after 1857)

for the post-reform coinage?

Where do you get 1841 as the split date? I have notes about an 1838 change.

 

It seems that 1806-1839 and 1839-1873 would be a better split. Splitting at 1841 would place two coins in two currencies:

 

N#25502

N#24617

 

I thing 1839 is the only transition year that doesn't split coin types.

1841 is when the Neu-Groschen was introduced, although it seems the decision was taken in 1840. However, it's clear that Thaler on the standard of 1/14 of a Cologne Mark were issued from 1839, so a split at that year would allow all coins to sit entirely within one currency or the other, since none were issued before and after that year.

It is a little bit of a fudge but I think the gap in the production of any low-value coins just about justifies it.

One other thing. I used the term Neu-Groschen as that's what appears on the coins but all our entries have Neugrochen, as does the link above. Given our recent discussion on the Silbergroschen, perhaps these are better?

Thaler (1806-1839)

12 Pfennige = 1 Groschen • 24 Groschen = 1 Thaler • 1⅓ Thaler = 1 Conventionsthaler

Thaler (1839-1873)

10 Pfennige = 1 Neugroschen • 30 Neugroschen = 1 Thaler (Neugroschen introduced 1841, Vereinsthaler after 1857)
