| Obverse description | Central oval shield bearing the two-fold arms of electoral and ducal Saxony — the Rautenkranz (rue crown) bend sinister over barry of ten or and sable — set within an elaborate ornate cartouche frame. The electoral Kurschwerter (crossed swords) appear as an escutcheon of pretence. A full circumferential legend in Latin records the titles of Elector Christian I of Saxony. The design is executed in the refined late-Renaissance engraving style characteristic of late 16th-century Saxon coinage. |
