Xavier as administrator, Thaler 1764, Dresden

The first and rarest vintage. An interesting type of coin associated with Poland, described in Kopicki under item 11590. After the death of Krystian (the eldest son of Augustus III), he was succeeded by his son Frederick (later Prince of Warsaw), but until he came of age, his uncle Xavier ruled on his behalf. Xavier was the younger son of August III (younger brother of Krystian). When minting coins, he did not include the Polish-Saxon coat of arms on them, but he did give the title of Polish prince in the legend.
