This specimen was lot 4053 in Goldberg sale 41 (Beverly Hills, May 2007), where it sold for $1,955. The catalog description[1] noted, "Saxony. Ducat, 1697. Said to be struck from ½ ducat dies, struck on small flan. Friedrich August I, 1694-1733. Struck on the election of being King of Poland. Obv. King on horse. No legend. Reverse: D-G at sides of crown with palms below over inscription: F.A.E.S. /EL:IN REG:/ POLONIARUM/D.17/27 IUN:/A:1697. NGC graded AU-58. Friedrich August was both duke of Saxony and king of Poland. Therefore, his coins are sought after by collectors from both areas. He had to convert to Catholicism to accept the kingdom of Poland. He also bankrupted the Saxon treasury to support his pointless Polish wars." The SCWC records seven different types of ducats for 1697.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: 3.5 g, 0.986 fine gold; this specimen 3.46 grams, 19.49 mm diameter.
