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 II was the Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, and his reign saw the rise of the Enlightenment and the decline of the feudal system. This coin, made of silver and weighing 2.69 grams, was a standard circulation coin during this time and would have been used in everyday transactions. Despite its small size, it holds significant historical value as a symbol of the economic and political shifts that were taking place in Europe during the 18th century.
