Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the coronation of Frederick August I as the Elector of Saxony in 1697. The coin features an image of Frederick August I on one side and the coat of arms of the Albertinian Line of the House of Wettin on the other. The use of gold for the coin's material and its relatively small weight of 1.68 grams make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists.
