| Beschrijving voorzijde | Full-length effigy of Elector Johann Georg I in elaborate plate armor, standing on a tiled floor facing slightly to the right, holding an upright sword in his right hand while his left hand rests upon a table bearing a plumed helmet. The figure is rendered in the high Baroque style characteristic of mid-seventeenth-century Saxon coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the composition, identifying the ruler by name and his ducal and comital titles. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck to commemorate the Peace of Westphalia (1648), which ended the Thirty Years' War — a conflict that had devastated Saxony repeatedly, with Electoral territories occupied, looted, and administratively paralyzed for stretches of the 1630s and 1640s. John George I had navigated the war with notorious inconsistency, switching imperial allegiances at the Treaty of Prague in 1635, a decision that earned him lasting criticism from Protestant allies. The peace issue was partly a rehabilitation exercise.
The two-year gap between the 1648 treaty and this 1650 striking reflects the formal Imperial execution diet at Nuremberg, where final troop demobilization terms were settled — the war's administrative close, not the diplomatic one.
