| Reverse description | Elaborately quartered coat of arms of the Ernestine Saxon line, surmounted by multiple crested helms with ornate mantling in the German Renaissance heraldic tradition. The multi-quartered shield incorporates the arms of Saxony, Thuringia, Meissen, and associated territories, displayed with considerable engraving detail. Two wild men or heraldic supporters flank the shield on either side. The surrounding Latin legend SPES MEA IN DEO EST, meaning 'My hope lies with God,' encircles the composition, with the date 1541 incorporated into the legend. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. |
