Additional information

August II's Saxon mints struck these small-denomination coins for Polish circulation during a period when the Commonwealth's own monetary infrastructure had been gutted by the Great Northern War. Charles XII's campaigns through Poland had disrupted minting operations so severely that Augustus relied on Leipzig — a Saxon commercial hub, not a Polish royal mint — to supply coins for his Polish territories. The arrangement was constitutionally awkward: a foreign city producing coinage for a nominally elective monarchy whose king happened also to rule Saxony.

The three Kopicki references spanning this type reflect genuine die variation across the production run, not mere cataloguing splits.
