Though dated 1847, this piece was produced in 1870 as a jubilee and academic prize medal, combining numismatic artistry with civic and educational commemoration. Its unusually high relief, precision strike, and mirrored fields indicate it was specifically intended as a proof presentation, not a circulation coin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eObverse\u003c\/strong\u003e: Features a finely engraved, right-facing bust of Friedrich August II, surrounded by the legend:\u003cbr\u003e“FRIEDRICH AUGUST K.
