| Beschrijving voorzijde | Nine-line Latin inscription occupying the entire field, commemorating the signing of the marriage contract between the Prince of Poland and Elector of Saxony and the Princess of Hungary, Bohemia, and Archduchess of Austria, concluded at Vienna.

The coin is struck within a toothed inner border with a suspension loop at the top, giving it the character of both a struck thaler and a presentation piece. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This thaler commemorates the 1719 Dresden celebrations surrounding the marriage of Frederick Augustus II (Electoral Prince of Saxony) to Maria Josepha, Archduchess of Austria — festivities that Augustus I bankrolled on a scale designed to announce Saxon power to every court in Europe. The Dresden wedding lasted weeks and consumed a sum that historians have compared unfavorably to the state's annual military budget.
The Schnee reference places this among a cluster of Saxon commemorative talers from that single celebratory year, several sharing obverse dies.
