| Aversbeschreibung | Right-facing draped bust of Augustus III, King of Poland, wearing an elaborate arched crown with fleurs-de-lis and a flowing curled wig rendered in high relief. The effigy occupies the majority of the coin's field, with the king's robes depicted in finely engraved parallel folds. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, interrupted at the base by the truncation of the bust. This is identified as the early bust type, distinguished by the larger, more prominent portrait characteristic of the first Leipzig issues. |

The Leipzig mint's production of Polish Crown sixpences under August III reflects one of the more cynical monetary arrangements of the mid-eighteenth century: a Saxon elector farming out degraded coinage to a foreign kingdom he ruled in personal union but treated as a revenue stream. The billon content of these pieces was set deliberately low, and Warsaw had little effective recourse against Dresden's management of the Polish monetary supply.
The early bust varieties catalogued under Kopicki 2098–2100b represent the first years of Leipzig's involvement with this denomination, before the dies were reworked. Distinguishing between the sub-varieties requires close attention to the crown form and the arrangement of the collar detail.
