| Beschrijving keerzijde | Six-line Latin motto inscription occupying the entire reverse field, reading: PRO FIDE / SVPRA FIDEM / DEO LT CAESARI / MORS RAPVIT / NON DEFICIT / ALTER. The pious and loyalist legend, meaning in part 'faith above faith, death has snatched him from God and Caesar, yet another does not fail,' reflects the commemorative and dynastic character of the issue. The lettering is rendered in a clear Roman capital script typical of Saxon memorial coinage of the early seventeenth century, with no subsidiary devices or border legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Christian II died in June 1611 at age 27, ending a reign marked by his brothers John George and August serving as co-rulers under the electoral constitution of Saxony — a governance arrangement that required all three names on official coinage. This piece is a death issue marking Christian's passing, struck in the same year. The three-ruler format had produced an unusually crowded titular coinage throughout the 1600s, and its abrupt end with this memorial issue effectively closes one of the more administratively peculiar chapters in Saxon electoral numismatics.
