For the sixteen early years of his reign, Augustus III Saxon had essentially no mint policy. It was not until 1749 that a decision was made to start the production of copper shekels and pennies. This task was carried out by three mints: in Dresden, Gruntal and Gubin. In turn, in 1752, Leipzig began producing gold coins (augustdors and ducats and their fractions and multiples), as well as silver coins (thalers, half-talers, two-gold coins, tymphes, orts, sixpences, triples and halves). From a formal point of view, the letting go of mints issuing Polish coins was illegal. This is because the Polish Sejm did not give its consent. The same can be said of the activities of municipal mints in Royal Prussia. Gdansk, Torun and Elblag began mint production without asking the permission of Treasurer Karol Sedlnicki.
