| Beschrijving voorzijde | Uniformed and draped bust of Friedrich August III, King of Saxony, facing left, rendered in high relief with fine naturalistic detail including short hair and a decorative collar insignia. The peripheral legend arcs around the upper and lower fields, reading FRIEDRICH AUGUST to the left and KÖNIG V. SACHSEN to the right, separated by the mint mark E positioned at the bottom of the field. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. The portrait conveys an authoritative yet restrained regal character typical of German Imperial-era coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederick August III abdicated on November 13, 1918 — one of the first German monarchs to go, beaten to it only by the Kaiser's announcement hours earlier. This 1916 trial strike predates that collapse by two years, produced when the Saxon kingdom was still nominally intact but its finances gutted by wartime demands. Saxony had not issued circulating 2 Mark pieces since 1914, and this piece never advanced to regular production.
AFA trial strike designations for late Saxon issues are sparsely documented, and surviving examples rarely surface outside German specialist sales.
