| Reverse description | The reverse bears a seven-line Latin inscription in capital letters filling the entire field, commemorating Augustus III as King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, recording his election on 5 October 1733 and his coronation on 17 January 1734. The text is evenly spaced and cleanly struck, with the milled border framing the inscription on all sides. There is no central device or portraiture, the textual content itself serving as the primary design element in the tradition of Saxon commemorative ducats of this period. |
