| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a crowned heraldic shield bearing the electoral arms of Saxony, rendered in late Gothic style with characteristic angular execution typical of mid-15th century hammered coinage. The shield is flanked by decorative foliate or floral elements. The peripheral legend ERNESTVS ALBERTVS WILHELMVS runs in uncial Latin characters around the circumference, separated by cross stops, referencing the three co-ruling princes Ernest, Albert, and William III. A beaded or toothed inner border separates the legend from the central device. |
