Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Electorate of Saxony, where the coin was minted, was a powerful state in the Holy Roman Empire, and Frederick August I was the ruler at the time. The coin's design features an image of the king on one side and the Saxon coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the state's power and influence. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver and weighs 58.14 grams suggests that it was a valuable and significant coin in its time.
