Xavier as administrator, Thaler 1766, Dresden, beautiful

An interesting type of coin associated with Poland, described in Kopicki under item 11593 with a rarity grade of R1. 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 Polish-Saxon coats of arms on them, but he did include the title of Polish prince in the legend. Attractive piece, very nice details, patina, rarer vintage in the trade.
