| Obverse description | Armored half-length effigy of Elector Christian I of Saxony facing right, clad in elaborate Renaissance plate armor with a ruffled collar and richly decorated pauldrons, holding an upright sword in his right hand and a helmet under his left arm. The portrait is rendered in fine detail in the late 16th-century German style, set within a beaded inner circle. The circumferential Latin legend reads around the outer field, identifying the sitter as Elector and Archchamberlain of Saxony and Landgrave of Thuringia. |
