Comment
Davenport 2699Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Europe. The Electorate of Saxony, where the coin was minted, was a powerful state in the Holy Roman Empire, and Frederick August III was one of its most influential rulers. The coin's minting was likely a reflection of the economic and political shifts that were happening at the time, and it's fascinating to think about the stories and events that may have influenced its creation.
