| Obverse description | A standing angel, wings displayed, supports the crowned ducal arms of Saxony — barry of ten or and sable with a crancelin — centered in the field. The angel's figure is rendered in a late Gothic style typical of early Saxon coinage. A circular legend in Latin containing the ruler's titles and name surrounds the central device, reading clockwise within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | A quartered shield bearing the four-fold arms of the Saxon electorate — displaying the Thuringian lion, the Meissen barry, the Palatinate of Saxony, and the Landgraviate of Thuringia — set within a circular inner ring. The date 1547 appears integrated into the Latin circumscription, which reads MONETA NOVA around the perimeter within a beaded border. |
