| Reverse description | Armored three-quarter bust of Elector John Frederick I (the Magnanimous) facing left, wearing a plumed helmet and holding a sword over the left shoulder; the Saxon electoral arms appear in the lower field. The design commemorates the original presentation of the Augsburg Confession on 25 June 1530, with that centenary date prominently displayed within the field alongside the name IOANNES. The surrounding Latin legend identifies John Frederick as Duke of Saxony and Elector, evoking the dynasty's foundational role in the Lutheran Reformation. |
