Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of August III, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1733 to 1763. He was the last king of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and his reign saw the gradual decline of the country's power and influence. Despite this, the coin still holds significant historical value and is a sought-after collector's item.
