Obverse description Central field displays a quartered shield bearing the arms of Saxony and Thuringia — the upper quarters showing the Thuringian lion rampant, the lower quarters featuring the Saxon barry with a diagonal stripe — surmounted by a crown and enclosed within a quadrilobe inner frame. A beaded inner border separates the shield from the outer legend. The circumferential inscription in Gothic uncial lettering reads F○F○S○DEI○GRACIA○TVRING○LANG, recording the abbreviated titles of the three co-ruling margraves Frederick II, Frederick IV, and Sigismund. The overall design is characteristic of the late medieval Meissen-type Schildgroschen tradition.
