| Additional information |
August II's Saxon mint at Dresden struck Polish-denomination coinage under a fiscal arrangement that kept revenue flowing to the Wettin court rather than Warsaw. The 1727 dwugrosz sits late in his reign — he died in 1733 — by which point the currency had been so thoroughly debased through earlier reigns that even small silver pieces carried more political symbolism than purchasing power.
Kopicki 11128 is among the scarcer Dresden-struck bigrosz varieties, with surviving examples often showing uneven fields attributable to the Dresden dies being cut for a different planchet tolerance than the Polish mints used.
