Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval 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. However, the coin was minted in 1764, just a few years before the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, which marked the end of an era in European history. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the time.
