| Beschrijving voorzijde | Armored and draped bust of Elector Johann Georg I facing right, wearing the electoral mantle and holding the electoral sword upright in his right hand. A two-line Latin legend encircles the effigy, recording the Elector's birth date of 5 March 1585 and his death date of 7 October 1656, along with his titles as Arch-Marshal and Elector of the Holy Roman Empire and defender of the Augsburg Confession. The portrait is rendered in the formal baroque court style characteristic of mid-seventeenth-century Saxon coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John George I died in October 1656 after a reign of nearly four decades, having navigated Saxony through the catastrophic Thirty Years' War with a combination of late neutrality switches and territorial concessions that left the electorate intact but politically diminished. These memorial thalers were struck in the immediate aftermath of his death as a formal dynastic gesture — a tradition in the Saxon electoral house that produced some of the most technically accomplished funerary coinage in the German states.
The Schnee 894 attribution places this among a documented group of death thalers for John George I struck at the Dresden mint under Elector John George II, who wasted little time commissioning the issue.
