| Obverse description | Armored bust of Elector John George III facing right, depicted with curled wig, cravat, and elaborately etched plate armor with pauldrons. The effigy is rendered in high relief with strong portraiture typical of late 17th-century Saxon coinage. The surrounding legend reads IOH·GEORG·III·DG·DUX·SAX·I·C&M, identifying the ruler by name and title. The legend is set within a beaded border encircling the entire field. |

| Reverse description | Crowned Saxon electoral coat of arms, composed of the quartered shield with the Rautenkranz (ruta crown) diagonal, displayed between two upright palm branches symbolizing peace and victory. The date appears incorporated within the legend above the shield, and the denomination mark for one-third Thaler is displayed in an oval cartouche below the arms. The overall composition is characteristic of the baroque heraldic style prevalent in late 17th-century German states. |
