A Saxon medal from 1801

I put the scans from eBay up a couple weeks ago and here's a quick'n'dirty after I opened the mail today...

It looks to be a celebration of the new century (started in 1801, not 1800, I had to think about that...image) along
with a yippee for Saxony! image

It's 45mm in size, fairly thin and appears to be made out of tin. It's listed in Julius' 1959 sale catalog as #959 in
that metal and size so I'm pretty confident about my ID.

    The medal is in great shape! I assume it's relatively scarce too. Nice catch!

    Dr. Julius had the largest collection in history. There might be some bigger ones now but they're not advertising themselves... image
    In any case I've only ever seen this listed in Julius' collection though I'm looking forward to trying to find it in Forrer when my set
    arrives.
