| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck to commemorate the 1738 marriage of Frederick August II of Saxony to Maria Josepha of Austria, daughter of Holy Roman Emperor Joseph I — a politically calculated union binding two of the most powerful Catholic dynasties in central Europe. Saxony had converted to Catholicism under Augustus the Strong in 1697, a move that secured the Polish throne but remained deeply unpopular with the Lutheran population. Marriage coins of this period functioned as diplomatic currency as much as commemorative pieces.
The ⅔ Thaler denomination — equivalent to the North German Gulden — was a practical choice for wide circulation across the fractured imperial monetary system.
