I managed to win this one in the Heritage weekly sale tonight.
1827S, Saxony 16 Taler, NGC 65. With a mintage of 48,000 these were issued to commemorate the death of Frederick Augustus 1, King of Saxony. Frederick had Saxony elevated to a Kingdom by Napoleon for his support during the war. History shows he was on the wrong side however and he was later forced by the allies to cede over 50% of Saxony to Prussia as compensation.
