Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Gulden - ⅔ Talara - August III Sas (Lipsk) 1753-1763 from Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth made of Silver is that it was minted during the reign of August III, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1733 until his death in 1763. This coin was issued as a replacement for the earlier Thaler coin, which had been used in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth since the 16th century. The new coin was designed to have a more modern appearance and was minted in larger quantities to meet the growing economic needs of the Commonwealth. Despite its introduction, the Gulden - ⅔ Talara coin faced opposition from some nobles who saw it as a threat to their power and influence.
