Interesting fact
The August III Sas (Lipsk) 1753 coin was used as a means of payment in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, but it was also used as a form of propaganda. The coin features an image of August III, the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Commonwealth on the other. This coin was minted during a time of political turmoil in the region, and its production was likely used to promote the king's image and legitimacy.
