| Beschrijving keerzijde | A full-rigged sailing ship is depicted at anchor in a harbor, rendered in detailed relief with smaller vessels and a quayside structure visible in the background. The legend DEO DUCE arches across the upper field in two words flanking the masts, invoking divine guidance. Below the harbor scene, the inscription PORTUM INVENII ('He has found harbor') serves as a memorial allegory for the deceased. The mintmaster initials IGS and the fractional denomination mark ⅓ appear in the lower exergue. |

Frederick August I — Augustus the Strong — died in 1733, not 1717. This 1717 issue is a memorial thaler in a different sense entirely: it marks the bicentennial of the Reformation, struck in the year Saxony commemorated Luther's posting of the Ninety-Five Theses. Augustus was very much alive, ruling simultaneously as Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, a dual role that required his 1697 conversion to Catholicism — a politically explosive act in the birthplace of Lutheranism. Saxony's Protestant estates minted this piece in a climate of genuine confessional tension with their own sovereign.
