Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the military campaigns of Frederick August I, also known as Frederick Augustus I, who was the Elector of Saxony from 1694 to 1733. The coin's design features an image of Frederick August I on horseback, with the reverse side showing the coat of arms of the Albertinian Line of the House of Wettin, which was the ruling dynasty of Saxony at the time. The coin's gold content and relatively small weight make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists and historians interested in the history of Saxony and the Holy Roman Empire.
