Beschrijving keerzijde Two ornate crowned and quartered coats of arms displayed side by side at center — the Saxon electoral arms on the left and the Polish-Lithuanian arms on the right — both surmounted by royal crowns and separated by a small electoral sword. The date 1756 appears in the field above between the two shields. A continuous Latin legend encircles the reverse, citing the ruler's full royal and electoral titles. The heraldic design is executed in the elaborate baroque style typical of Dresden mint production.

Aanvullende informatie

August III ruled the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as an absentee king, spending the bulk of his reign in Dresden rather than Warsaw, and it was at the Dresden mint that this talar was produced — a pointed illustration of where his actual loyalties and administrative apparatus sat. Saxon minting infrastructure was routinely pressed into service for Polish coinage throughout his reign, a practical arrangement that suited a monarch who found Saxony considerably more congenial than his elective kingdom.

Kopicki 11463 is among the later Dresden-struck talers of the type, issued just three years before the Seven Years' War would devastate Saxon finances and effectively end coherent minting operations in Dresden for several years.
