| Beschrijving voorzijde | Half-length armored effigy of Elector Christian I facing right, holding a drawn sword over his right shoulder. The date is divided by the ruler's head, appearing on either side within the field. The surrounding legend contains the titles of Christian I in Latin, rendered in the characteristic style of late sixteenth-century Saxon coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Christian I ruled Saxony from 1586 until his death in 1591 — a reign brief enough that his coinage is structurally scarce across all denominations. He was the elector who handed effective governance to his chancellor Nicolaus Krell, whose aggressive Calvinist reforms made him deeply unpopular with Lutheran Saxon nobility. Christian's death at 30 triggered Krell's immediate arrest; he was eventually beheaded in 1601 after a decade of imprisonment.
The five-year production window and the political instability that followed mean survivors are rarely encountered outside major auction appearances.
