| Reverse description | The reverse displays a crowned electoral sword-and-sceptre arms shield of Saxony within a beaded inner circle, with the date 1612 divided across the lower field flanking the escutcheon. The shield bears the characteristic Meissen arms with the letter M visible, surmounted by an electoral crown. A continuous Latin legend surrounds the design in the outer margin, reading clockwise in Roman capitals separated by stops, citing the elector's title as Arch-Marshal and Imperial Vicar of the Holy Roman Empire, concluding with the denomination 1 GROSCHEN. The hammered flan shows characteristic surface texture consistent with early seventeenth-century Saxon minting practice. |
