A beautiful coronation medal of Augustus II with a family tree on the reverse.
It is a propaganda medal designed to help him gain favor with the Poles. It depicted a tree whose roots "proved" his kinship with the Jagiellonians. They showed that the newly elected monarch of Poland was the great-grandson of Casimir IV Jagiellon. The genealogy, meanwhile, is accompanied by the beautiful maxim"Polonis Sangvine Iunctus" - "connected with the Poles by blood".
Signed in the cross section of the arm G.W.
Very rare.
Obverse: bust of the king in a long wig, to the right, in a double border the legend:
FRIDERICVS AVGVSTVS DEI GRATIA REX POLONIAE/SACRI ROMANI IMPERII ARCHIMARESCHALLVS ET ELECTOR
Reverse: family tree from Casimir IV Jagiellon, to Frederick Augustus, in shield: ELECTVS/D 17/27 IVNII/CORONATVS/D 5/15 SEPT./M D C III CA, in rim: POLONIS SANG: VINEIVNCTVS
