| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central oval shield bearing the divided coat of arms of Saxony — featuring the barry of ten with a crancelin (electoral sword), the Thuringian lion, and additional quartered Saxon territorial arms — set within elaborate baroque cartouche scrollwork. The mint master's initials C R appear divided at the lower left and right of the shield, with the date numerals split across the lower field. The entire design is rendered in the characteristic small-module style of mid-17th century Saxon coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John George II inherited the electorate in 1656 following his father's 46-year reign and almost immediately faced the financial strain of maintaining an extravagant Dresden court — one of the most expensive in the empire relative to Saxony's resources. The small silver Dreier denomination was a workhorse of everyday commerce throughout his reign, struck in quantity to service a population that had been badly disrupted by the Thirty Years' War and its aftermath of currency debasement.
The Cl/Kahnt reference places this firmly within the Clauss-Kahnt corpus of Saxon coinage, which documents the considerable die variation across this type's decade-long production span.
