| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two flaming hearts tied together at center, bound by ribbons whose ends are held by two hands issuing from either side of the design — one male hand from the left and one female hand from the right — symbolizing the indissoluble marital union. The legend INDISSOLVBILITER arcs around the composition, underscoring the allegorical theme of eternal union. The overall design is executed in a refined Baroque style consistent with early eighteenth-century Saxon court medallic art. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This ducat commemorates the 1719 marriage of Frederick Augustus II (Crown Prince of Saxony, son of Augustus the Strong) to Maria Josepha, Archduchess of Austria and daughter of Holy Roman Emperor Joseph I. The wedding was one of the most extravagant celebrations in Dresden's history, staged over several weeks with tournaments, operas, and fireworks bankrolled by a court already notorious for spending beyond its means. The groom's father — Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland — used the occasion as a deliberate display of dynastic ambition.
The coin's issuer is listed under Frederick August I, Augustus the Strong's regnal designation as Elector.
