| Obverse description | Armored half-length bust of Elector John George I facing right, clad in ornate plate armor with elaborate pauldrons and gorget, the figure occupying the central field of the diamond-shaped klippe flan. The Elector holds a sword or baton in his right hand, symbolizing electoral authority. A circular beaded inner border frames the bust, with the continuous Latin legend reading IOHAN: GEORG: D: G: DVX SAX: IVL: CL: ET MONT: S: R: I: ARCHIM: ET ELECT: arranged around the periphery. The words SCOPVS VITAE appear prominently across the upper field, serving as a personal motto. The klippe format features a characteristic serrated or milled outer border following the square-diamond shape, with small ornamental devices at the corners. |
