| Reverse description | Eight-line commemorative inscription in Latin occupying the entire field, recording the date of death of Elector Christian I of Saxony in Roman numerals. The text reads: OBIIT / XXV SEPTEM- / BRIS ANNO / M·D·XCI· / IACTVRAM / OSTENDET / DIES, with the mint mark HB appearing below. The lettering is rendered in a bold Roman capital style typical of late Renaissance Saxon coinage. The date M·D·XCI· (1591) appears with a bar above XCI denoting the numeral. The reverse bears no pictorial device, relying solely on the monumental inscription as its commemorative statement. |
