| Additional information |
Fryderyk Christian ruled Saxony for just 74 days in 1763, dying in December of that year before his son Friedrich August III — later the first King of Saxony — could reach adolescence. This taler was struck at Leipzig during the closing year of the Seven Years' War, which had left Saxony economically gutted and physically occupied by Prussian forces for most of the conflict. The Leipzig mint's output in 1763 reflects a state attempting to reassert fiscal normalcy almost before the guns had cooled.
Three distinct Kopicki references cover this type, suggesting die variation across the issue rather than a single unified production run.
