Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the coronation of Frederick August I as the Elector of Saxony in 1697, and it features an image of the Elector on the obverse side, while the reverse side depicts the coat of arms of the Albertinian Line of the House of Wettin, which was the ruling dynasty of Saxony at the time.
