Lot description
Grade: VF
Reference: Kahnt 161, Kopicki 10799 (R4)

A very rare commercial denomination from the time of August II - 1/6 thaler.

The so-called "Cosel-Sechstel" minted in only two vintages - 1706 and 1707.

These are quarter thalers, which, according to legend, were supposed to refer by a combination of shields topped with a central dot to the intimate places of Countess Cosel. Although King Augustus dedicated a series of coins with butterflies to her, the theory that he ordered guilders to be minted with such an "image" as a result of a wager should be considered a myth, and the dot as a trace of a circular, allowing the otolith to be designated. The real connection of these coins with Anna Constance is the fact that their treasure was found in her chair at Stolpen Castle, where she was imprisoned.

Issued with the shields of the Republic and the titulature of the King of Poland.
