| Obverse description | A winged cherub (wild man) stands facing at center, flanked by two elaborate heraldic shields bearing the arms of Saxony. The denomination '60' appears in the lower field beneath the shields. The surrounding legend, rendered in Latin capital letters, reads the titles of Elector John George I, with the inscription running along the inner border of the coin. The overall design is characteristic of early 17th-century Saxon minting tradition, with bold, deeply struck relief. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the date prominently above two armored figures (wildcards or supporters) flanking a central escutcheon bearing the Saxon electoral arms. A small shield at the top of the design contains the mintmaster's letter 'N'. Two rampant lions are visible below the supporters at the base of the composition. The circumferential Latin legend records John George I's titles as Elector and Archchancellor of the Holy Roman Empire, running continuously around the entire coin field. |
