| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central shield bearing the quartered arms of Saxony — divided barry of ten or and sable with a bend wavy or — enclosed within an ornate cartouche and surrounded by a wreath of laurel branches. An electoral bonnet (Kurhut) surmounts the shield, symbolising the dignity of the Elector of Saxony. The circular legend, rendered in Latin, runs along the coin's periphery and is interrupted at the base by the mintmaster's initials E.D.C. The overall composition is executed in a refined baroque engraving style consistent with mid-to-late 18th-century Saxon coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederick August III ruled Saxony for an unusually long stretch — from 1763 until the electorate was dissolved into a kingdom in 1806 — and the 1/12 Thaler served as one of the principal small-denomination workhorses of everyday Saxon commerce across those decades. The extended date range reflects not a single issue but a rolling production across multiple mint periods, which accounts for the die variety spread documented across Buck's references.
Saxony's billon coinage of this period suffered persistent public distrust following the monetary debasements of the Seven Years' War, during which Frederick the Great occupied Dresden and struck debased Saxon-style coins using seized dies.
