1/3 Talara / Półgulden - August II Mocny Lipsk mint

The 1710 date places this coin squarely in the wreckage of the Great Northern War, when Swedish forces under Charles XII had ravaged Polish territory and Augustus II had only recently reclaimed the Polish throne after years of exile — Charles's puppet Stanisław Leszczyński having occupied it in his absence. Saxon minting infrastructure, centered at Leipzig, became the practical backstop for Polish coinage when domestic mints were disrupted or unsafe. The Leipzig facility operated under electoral Saxon authority but struck Polish-denominated coinage for Augustus in his dual capacity as Elector of Saxony and King of Poland.

Kopicki 10859 is a recognized variety within a series notable for inconsistent die preparation at Leipzig.
