A print in tin of a very rare medal made most likely in the 19th century.
Issuance described by J. Rokita "The last medal created following the death of August II Wettin, executed by Peter Paul Werner, was also issued in 1733. The obverse of the medal is entirely occupied by an inscription in six lines: AVGVSTI SECVNDI / REGIS POLONIAE/ PATRIS PATRIAE / MORS / IN OPINATA / LVGETVR (Augustus II, King of Poland, Father of the Fatherland's unexpected death is mourned), the individual letters of which form a chronostich: V+V+I+CV+DI+I+L+I+I+I+I+M+I+I+LV+V (= 1733) placed inside a wreath of myrtles tied at the bottom with a ribbon. In turn, the reverse of the medal was inspired by mythological content. In the center of the composition, the artist depicted Chronos in a standing position with both hands raised and bent at the elbows. Important for the correct recognition of the figure are the attributes: a scythe with the blade (wedge) turned downwards (in the right hand) and an hourglass (in the left hand). Behind the back of Chronos, the artist reproduced a rectangular tomb with three steps leading to its interior. To the right and left of Chronos on the ground lie urns."
