Obverse description Full-length armored figure of John George I, Elector of Saxony, shown facing slightly right in three-quarter stance, clad in elaborate etched plate armor, holding a drawn sword aloft in his right hand and grasping a scabbard in his left. The figure stands upon a tiled or hatched ground plane, conveying a sense of perspective. The date 1611 appears in the lower field beneath the figure. A beaded inner circle frames the central design, with the Latin legend running around the outer periphery.
