| Beschrijving voorzijde | Johann Georg I stands in full armour at left, facing right, raising his right hand in a gesture of honour toward a seated female figure at right, representing his mother, who is enthroned and wearing a conical headdress. A small flowering plant occupies the ground between the two figures. The surrounding legend reads HONOREM HABERIS MATRI OMNIB9 DIEB9 VITAE in Latin, encircling the scene within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1617 centenary fell exactly one hundred years after Luther's posting of the Ninety-Five Theses, and Saxony had every political reason to celebrate loudly. John George I — a staunch Lutheran and one of the most powerful Protestant princes in the Empire — commissioned a sweeping series of commemorative issues across multiple denominations, of which this half thaler is among the more commonly encountered survivors. The Elector was simultaneously consolidating his position ahead of the tensions that would, just a year later, detonate into the Thirty Years' War.
Cl/Kahnt 249a distinguishes this from closely related dies within the same commemorative emission.
