Rare vicariate thaler of Augustus III of Poland from 1745.
Very rare variety with the inscription VICARIUS on the reverse, with the initials FWôF of Friedrich Wilhelm ô Feral, mintmaster of the Dresden mint in the years 1734-1763, and a hook with the initials.
Coin practically non existent on the global auction market as evidenced by only five listings on the Coinarchives and the first listing in the history of Onebid.
Coin in the Kahnt catalog with LP rarity grade, which means Liebhaberpreis (amateur price).
Plenty of mint bloom.
Definitely to one of the best collections of Royal Poland or the Wettin dynasty!
Obverse: bust of the king in wig and armor, right
DG FRID AUGUST REX POL DUX SAX ICMA & W
Reverse: two crowned coats of arms, at the bottom between them an orb of dominion, initials FWôF and a hook
