Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. Frederick August III was the last Elector of Saxony and the last King of Poland, and his reign saw the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire and the rise of the Kingdom of Prussia. This coin, minted in 1764, is a tangible reminder of that tumultuous period in European history.
