A nice natural 1/3 thaler of Augustus II the Strong, popularly known as the "Coselgulden" half.
Very rare, and an interesting denomination.
These are coins minted between 1706 and 1707, which, according to legend, were supposed to refer by the 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 wheel, allowing the otolith to be designated. The real connection of these coins with Anna Constance is that their treasure was found in her chair at Stolpen Castle, where she was imprisoned.
