The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick August I, who ruled from 1700 to 1705, a period marked by the transition from the medieval period to the modern era. The coin's silver content and its use in trade and commerce during this time reflect the shifting economic landscape of the region. Additionally, the coin's design, featuring an image of Frederick August I, highlights the importance of the ruling dynasty and the political changes that were taking place during this period.
