| Additional information |
John George I and his brother August ruled Saxony jointly from 1611 following their father's death, an arrangement that reflected the Albertinian line's persistent tension between primogeniture and the practical need to provide for younger sons with electoral dignity. August died in 1615, which brackets the short window for this type and explains its relative scarcity. The joint-reign coinage of Saxony in this period is complicated by overlapping dies and multiple mint facilities operating under separate wardenship contracts.
