Coin Visit Coin
As Münzbesuchsmünze are commemorative coins referred to in their presence in the occasion of the visit of rulers or their relatives mint are marked. The coins that were minted on the occasion of the opening of a mint can also be assigned to these commemorative coins.
The planes used come from circulation coins . The metal content corresponds to the applicable coin laws. This means that they can be accepted as currency in circulation. The front side is mainly stamped with the stamp of the coin in circulation. A separate stamp with a memorial inscription was mainly prepared for the reverse. With a few coins, the reason for visiting the coin does not result directly from the mint.
Visiting German coins began with the regents' increasing interest in the economic development of their countries and in technical progress. Also from other states, u. a. France, such coinage visits are known.

Archduchy of Austria
The Roman Empress Maria Theresa made a significant contribution to the development of coinage with the Vienna Coin Convention of 1753 and the modernization of minting technology. The increasing demands on the mint made it necessary to combine the scattered mint workshops and create a new building corresponding to a great power. In 1753 the mint was placed next to the Winter Palace of Prince Eugene in Vienna; today part of the Ministry of Finance relocated. The inauguration of the new main mint was commemorated. The empress was present. It is likely to be one of the first coins that can be counted as visiting coins.

Kingdom of Saxony
The first visit thaler of the Kingdom of Saxony, which has existed since 1806, was made in 1839 on the occasion of a visit to the Dresden mint by the Saxon princes Albert (1828–1902), Ernst (1831–1847), Georg (1832–1904) and Princess Elisabeth of Saxony (1830–1830). 1912) coined. These specimens are not listed in the coin files. Presumably, thaler coars of the 14 thaler coin base newly introduced in Saxony were used, the production of which began in 1839. Only four copies without marginal writing are recorded in the medal embossing. Apparently it is the pieces given to the visitors.

The obverse comes from the old thaler stamp from 1854 with the even younger-looking head of the king. The minting of the circulation coins from 1855 shows a new, older-looking image of the king. The commemorative coin bears the marking of the coin base prescribed in § 4 of the Coin Constitution. So it could be used in monetary transactions as a Kuranttaler.

The permissible remedium is regulated by Section 8 of the Coin Constitution in accordance with the Dresden Coin Agreement. The small deviations guaranteed that the coins would retain their value. The diameter to be used is specified in Section 5 of the Coin Constitution as 34 mm.
The visits to the mints of the Saxon kings continued in the German Empire. From 1887 the mint was located in Muldenhütten near Freiberg. As a result of the introduction of the new imperial currency, however, the minting of silver coins as commemorative coins was prohibited from January 1, 1874 under Article 11 of the Coin Act of July 9, 1873. Nonetheless, visits to coins were struck in Saxony. For this purpose 2-mark coarsets were used; produced according to the requirements of Article 3 § 1 of the Coin Act of 9 July 1873.
It was initially issued as a medal. So you officially lacked the character of a means of payment. However, the public accepted them as a circulation coin. This may also have been due to the fact that the stamps of the 2-mark circulation coins were used for the face side and the edge was also fluted like the circulation coin. It was only with the amendment to the Coin Act on June 1, 1900, that the Federal Council was authorized to produce five-mark and two-mark coins as commemorative coins with a different coinage.
