Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political 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 response to the growing need for currency in the region, as trade and commerce were expanding rapidly during this time. Despite being made of a relatively low-value material like billon, the coin's intricate design and the fact that it was minted during a time of significant historical change make it a valuable collector's item today.
