| Beschrijving keerzijde | The electoral arms of Saxony and the Saxon coat of arms displayed side by side within an ornate cartouche, reflecting the dual heraldic identity of the issuer. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central armorial composition, incorporating the mint-master's initials HB and the acorn mint mark of the Dresden mint. The heraldic devices are rendered in the elaborate engraving style characteristic of late sixteenth-century German coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
August I of Saxony ruled the electorate from 1553 to 1586 and transformed Dresden into one of the most administratively sophisticated courts in the empire. His reign coincided with the consolidation of the Albertinian line's economic dominance in central Germany, partly through control of the Erzgebirge silver mines whose output funded precisely these fractional thaler issues. The quarter thaler occupied a practical denominational gap — too large for daily market transactions, but useful for regional trade settlements where full thalers were cumbersome.
The fifteen-year production window for this type reflects August's unusually stable government rather than any single minting event.
