A rare variety in very good condition.
A coin with distinctive iconography, devoid of any references to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It lacks the coats of arms of Poland and Lithuania (replaced by a monogram), as well as the title of King of Poland in the obverse border (it reads REX ET ELECTOR—“King and Elector”—but without the abbreviation for “Poland”). This is reflected in history. This issue was minted after the dethronement of Augustus II, before his return to the country in 1709.
A design featuring the king’s monogram on the obverse, from the year in which the mints resumed striking 1/12 coins with a coat-of-arms shield.
Leipzig Mint (initials E.P.H., mint mark: pike).
A natural specimen with a light patina and mint luster on the surface.
