A rare, last vintage of the Vicarian ducats of King August III.
An issue with a unique reverse iconography, found only on ducats of this vintage, where we have a soaring eagle, with crown and sceptre, with the five-field shield of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Saxony on its chest. In the rim DECUS ET PRAESIDIUM(glory and protection), in the segment PROVISOR IMPERII ITERUM MDCCXLV (dignitary of the Empire again 1745).
In the company's history to date, we have this vintage for the first time (previously we only noted its print in silver).
The first issue of curate coins of the Polish king took place during the reign of Augustus II. The name comes from the privilege of the Saxon electors, who according to it exercised the vicariate in the Saxon district after the death of the emperor. On this occasion, a number of coins with distinctive iconography were minted. This tradition was not interrupted either by his son, August III, with his first coins minted in 1740 and the last in 1745.
Gold, diameter 21 mm, weight 3.46 g.
