| Aanvullende informatie |
Augustus III inherited the Polish-Saxon union from his father Augustus II in 1733 only after a contested election that briefly installed Stanisław Leszczyński instead — French-backed and briefly enthroned before Saxon and Russian military pressure reversed the outcome. The War of the Polish Succession effectively decided who would strike coins like this one. Dresden's gold output during the 1730s was underwritten by Saxony's considerable mineral wealth, the Erzgebirge mines providing consistent bullion supply at a time when Polish royal finances were far less reliable.
The 4-ducat denomination was struck primarily for diplomatic gift-giving and high-value trade rather than ordinary circulation. Kop. 11391 is among the scarcer dated varieties of this type.
