A very rare issue of Augustus II the Strong.
The only piece with the highest grade in the NGC registry.
The coin in an extraordinary state of preservation.
A specimen piece with a clearly preserved, intense mint mirror.
During the time of Augustus the Strong, the mints of the Republic were not put into operation. In the strict sense of the word, no Polish or Lithuanian coins were minted at that time. From the point of view of the applicable law, the Leipzig issues belonged to the Saxon mint. Nevertheless, due to the Polish denominations and the Polish name of the king - August II, and not Frederick Augustus as on Saxon coins - some of the coins in this group are included in the Polish minting. These include sixpences, orts, thalers half-ducats and ducats. In addition, the Moscow mint issued Lithuanian sixpences, while the Gdansk mint issued ducats, two-ducats and shekels. A significant area of mint production during the reign of Augustus the Strong is also occupied by commemorative coins, tokens, as well as private issues.
