Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of August II the Strong, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1697 to 1706, and then again from 1709 to 1733. August II was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to strengthen the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and this coin was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in the region.
