Cosel guilders

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cosel Gulden was the better known name for a Saxon guilders from the years 1706 - 1711 .

The coins have an overlap of the crest edges, which when put together correspond to the image of a vulva . Legend has it that King August of Poland bet with his lover Constantia von Cosel that he could mint a coin that connects the Saxon and Polish coats of arms in such a way that they represent the vulva of Cosel. In her captivity at Stolpen Castle , she seems to have collected most of the guilders. They were found in her armchair after Countess Cosel's death.
