| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing armored and draped bust of Augustus II the Strong, wearing a royal crown atop a flowing curled wig, with elaborate lace cravat and cuirass visible below. The effigy is rendered in high relief in the Baroque style characteristic of early 18th-century Saxon coinage. The circular Latin legend reads AUGUSTUS II D G REX POLON M DUX LIT, distributed around the periphery of the coin. A fine beaded inner border separates the legend from the central effigy. The portrait is bold and finely detailed, consistent with the work of the Leipzig Mint diesinkers of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Augustus II lost and then recaptured the Polish throne twice — 1702 was the year Charles XII of Sweden installed Stanisław Leszczyński in his place, meaning this Leipzig thaler was struck at precisely the moment Augustus's claim to Poland was collapsing under Swedish military pressure. The Leipzig mint operated under his firm Electorate of Saxony authority even when Warsaw was beyond his reach, making Saxon mint output the practical continuation of his royal pretension during the interregnum years.
Kopicki 2017 places this among the documented Leipzig issues of the contested reign.
