| Additional information |
August III spent most of his reign in Dresden rather than Warsaw, leaving Polish monetary administration to court favorites and foreign mint contractors. The Leipzig issues of 1762 were struck under Saxon oversight, reflecting how thoroughly Wettin priorities had displaced Polish institutional control over the coinage by the final years of his reign. That same year, Augustus died in October, making these among the last coins struck in his name for Polish circulation.
Kopicki 2125 distinguishes the Leipzig striking from contemporaneous Warsaw and Grodno output by subtle die characteristics. Worth noting: Leipzig-struck Polish coinage of this period is frequently encountered with weak peripheral detail due to the shallow working dies favored at that facility.
