| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device consists of a large ornate cartouche enclosing the arms of the Archbishopric of Mainz — a patriarchal cross surmounting an orb or globe — with the numeral '3' prominently displayed within the lower portion of the shield, indicating the denomination of three Pfennige. The cartouche is framed by elaborate baroque scrollwork and foliate ornaments. The mintmaster's initials 'IK' appear in the field to the right of the cartouche. A small crown surmounts the entire device at the top of the field. The legend encircling the design references the Elector's role as Arch-Chancellor of the Holy Roman Empire. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John George III of Saxony spent much of his electoral reign rebuilding a treasury and military exhausted by the Thirty Years' War's long aftermath. The Dreier — worth three pfennigs — was the workhorse of small Saxon commerce, struck in enormous quantities precisely because it disappeared fastest into everyday transactions. By 1690, Saxon minting operations were under mounting pressure to produce small silver at pace, and the short two-year window for this type reflects how quickly denominational policies shifted under John George III before his death in September 1691.
