Very nice presentation. Scratches in front of the portrait. Beautiful reverse.

Beautiful 2/3 thaler of Augustus II the Strong, popularly known as "Coselgulden". These are guilders minted between 1705 and 1707, which, according to legend, were supposed to refer by the combination of shields topped with a central dot to the Countess Cosel's intimate places. 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.
