| Reverse description | Armored bust of Duke Moritz of Saxony facing right, depicted in three-quarter view with a short beard, wearing richly detailed plate armor with a prominent gorget and chain; the portrait is rendered in vigorous hammered relief characteristic of mid-sixteenth-century Saxon coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the effigy, with heraldic shields visible in the field at left and right. The surrounding Latin legend MAVRI D VX SAX FI IVS 15 47 BUCH T identifies Moritz as Duke of Saxony, with the date 1547 and the mint mark letter T for the Annaberg mint master incorporated into the inscription. |
