Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Frederick August III, who was the Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the Albertinian Line of the House of Wettin, which was a powerful dynasty that ruled Saxony for over 800 years.
