Interesting fact
The August III Sas (Lipsk) 1761 coin was minted during a time of great change in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It was the first coin to feature the image of King August III, who ruled the Commonwealth from 1733 to 1763. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the king's power and authority, and it was widely used throughout the Commonwealth's territories. Despite its widespread use, the coin's value was not stable, and it was often subject to inflation and devaluation. Today, the coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
