| Beschrijving voorzijde | Half-length armored effigy of Elector John George I facing right, clad in full plate armor with elaborate detailing, brandishing a sword over his right shoulder and holding a closed helmet in his left hand. The figure is rendered in a bold, high-relief baroque style characteristic of early 17th-century Saxon coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the bust within the coin's outer rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John George I ruled Saxony through the catastrophic opening decades of the Thirty Years' War, and his position throughout that conflict was deliberately, almost cynically, ambiguous. He initially led the Protestant Union's military forces, then signed the Peace of Prague in 1635 with Ferdinand II — effectively abandoning the Swedish alliance and earning widespread contempt from Protestant allies across the Empire. Saxony was repeatedly occupied and devastated by both sides during this span, and the electoral mint at Dresden was under sustained fiscal pressure throughout.
The eighteen-year emission window reflected prolonged wartime minting rather than a stable series. Dresden and Torgau both struck for this type.
