| Reverse description | A large crowned bell displayed prominently in the center of the field, with two crossed cannons or cannon barrels arranged diagonally above it, referencing Duke August II's interest in artillery and bell-founding. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading ANO 1643 ALLES IST BEDACHT SIC, incorporating decorative six-pointed star stops between words. The overall composition is characteristic of the so-called Glockentaler (bell thaler) type issued to commemorate the Duke's bell-casting activities. |
