| Obverse description | Armored bust of Duke John Philip of Saxe-Altenburg facing right, wearing an elaborately decorated cuirass with a lace collar, his hair falling to the nape of the neck and a short beard visible. The effigy occupies the majority of the coin's field and is rendered in a bold hammered relief characteristic of early 17th-century German ducats. A beaded inner border frames the design. The circumferential Latin legend reads D G IOH PHIL ET FRID WILH FRAT DVC SAX, identifying the two co-ruling brothers by the grace of God as Dukes of Saxony. |
