Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the death of Frederick August I, also known as Frederick Augustus I, who was the Elector of Saxony from 1709 until his death in 1727. He was a member of the House of Wettin and ruled the Electorate of Saxony during a time of great political and cultural change in Europe. The coin's design features an image of Frederick August I on the obverse, and an image of the coat of arms of the Albertinian Line of the House of Wettin on the reverse. The use of silver in the coin's minting adds to its historical significance and value as a collector's item.
