Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the death of Frederick August I, who was the Elector of Saxony and King of Poland. The coin features an image of Frederick August I on the obverse side, and an image of an angel holding a crown and a scepter on the reverse side. The coin was minted in 1717, the year of Frederick August I's death, and it was made of silver, which was a valuable and prestigious metal at the time.
