| Reverse description | A knight in full baroque armour stands in a dynamic contrapposto pose at center, holding an oversized oval shield bearing the Saxon arms before him in his left hand and a sword in his right. Behind him, an ornate classical doorway or portal with columned architecture is visible in the background, alluding to a ceremonial or palatial setting. The entire composition conveys a strong allegorical reference to the birth of a Saxon prince destined for martial greatness. A bold Latin legend encircles the inner field, reading FUTURUS ACHILLES SAXONICUS NAT· VII· OCTOB· M·DCXCVI·, commemorating the birth of the future Frederick Augustus I on 7 October 1696. |
