Minted in DresdenInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the marriage of Frederick August II to Maria Josepha of Austria in 1747. The coin features an image of the couple on one side and the coat of arms of Saxony on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable example of a commemorative coin from the German States period, and its silver content makes it a popular collector's item among numismatists.
