| Additional information |
August III ruled Poland as an absentee king for most of his reign, governing from Dresden and leaving the Commonwealth's finances to deteriorate under aristocratic factional paralysis. By the early 1750s, the coinage situation had grown chaotic enough that Leipzig — Lipsk — was contracted to strike Polish small silver, an unusual arrangement that sent production outside the Commonwealth entirely. The grosz issues of 1753 from this mint are distinguished in Kopicki's reference between two die varieties, numbers 11254 and 11255, differentiated by minor legend and arrangement details.
