| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped and armored bust of King Augustus III facing right, wearing a large royal crown with elaborate ornamentation. The king's effigy features flowing long hair and rich robes with decorative clasps visible at the truncation. A circular Latin legend surrounds the portrait along the rim, with the crowned bust occupying the majority of the field in a bold Baroque style characteristic of mid-18th-century Saxon-Polish coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
By 1755, the Saxon-Polish monetary union under August III had thoroughly debased the ort from its earlier silver standard. The Lipsk (Leipzig) mint — operating under Saxon administration rather than Polish crown authority — was producing these billon pieces as part of a broader fiscal squeeze, with the silver content having dropped so dramatically from the coin's 17th-century origins that contemporaries and foreign merchants alike were deeply skeptical of its exchange value.
Kopicki lists two varieties for this date, distinguished by minor die differences in the royal titulature arrangement.
