| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederick August I launched his Ottoman campaign in 1695–96 as part of the broader War of the Holy League, fighting under Imperial command in Hungary. The timing was politically calculated — he was already positioning himself for the Polish throne, and battlefield credibility against the Turks was useful currency in that election. He was elected King of Poland in June 1697, converting to Catholicism to secure it.
Campaign ducats of this type were struck as presentation pieces, not pay. The Albertinian Dresden mint produced them in limited numbers for distribution among officers and allied dignitaries — survival in any condition is genuinely uncommon.
