| Obverse description | Draped bust of Frederick August I facing right, rendered in low relief within a toothed border encircling the entire coin. The effigy displays the elector-king in a plain drapery, with the head uncrowned and the facial features modeled in a restrained baroque style. The circumferential legend in Latin capital letters reads FRID AVG D G REX POL EL SAX, identifying the ruler as King of Poland and Elector of Saxony by divine grace. The field is plain with no inner circle, giving the bust a broad, prominent appearance characteristic of early eighteenth-century German pattern coinage. |
