| Obverse description | Draped and armored bust of Augustus III, King of Poland and Elector of Saxony, facing right, wearing a flowing wig and an elaborate crown. The effigy is rendered in a baroque style with fine detailing on the drapery and armor at the shoulder. A partial Latin legend curves around the upper periphery, reading REX POLONIARUM (King of the Poles). The field shows signs of circulation wear consistent with a coin struck for general commerce. |
