1⁄12 Talara / Dwugrosz - August III Sas Lipsk mint

August III ran the Saxon mints hard throughout the 1750s, and Leipzig — Lipsk in Polish — was producing these small-denomination silver pieces in enormous quantities for circulation across the Commonwealth. The coins were deeply unpopular. Warsaw merchants and szlachta alike complained that the issues were underweight and debased relative to the agreed monetary standard, and the flood of low-grade subsidiary coinage from Saxon mints was a persistent grievance between the Polish estates and the Dresden court throughout Augustus's reign.

Kop. 11304 and 11308 distinguish between die variants within this run — differences subtle enough that they are frequently conflated in general collections.
