| Reverse description | Elaborate manifold coat of arms of Electoral Saxony, composed of multiple quartered fields with the central escutcheon bearing the distinctive barry and per bend barry arms of Electoral Saxony. Three ornate crested helms rise above the shield, each surmounted by its respective heraldic crest, typical of the complex armorial display associated with the Ernestinian princes. The date 1539 appears within the field. The motto legend SPES MEA IN DEO EST (My hope is in God) encircles the composition. |
