| Beschrijving keerzijde | Reverse design mirrors the obverse, featuring the crowned AR royal cypher of Augustus III within a beaded oval cartouche, with the date 1760 flanking the monogram. This bracteat-style striking results in an incuse mirror image on the reverse, typical of the szeląg toruński coinage of the Toruń mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
By 1760, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth's coinage system was badly debased, and the szeląg — the lowest silver denomination in regular circulation — was being struck in copper at most mints. Toruń was unusual in maintaining a silver alloy for this issue, though the fineness was far from high. August III showed little personal interest in monetary reform; his court at Dresden left fiscal administration largely to Saxon advisors whose priorities rarely aligned with Commonwealth financial stability.
Kopicki 8385 is among the later Toruń strikings of his reign, a mint that had operated intermittently under royal privilege since the 15th century.
