| Obverse description | Draped bust of Johann Georg II, Elector of Saxony, facing right, with long curling hair falling to the shoulders and armored pauldron visible at the shoulder. A small oval shield bearing the electoral arms appears adjacent to the bust in the field. The encircling legend reads in Latin along the inner border. The portrait is rendered in the naturalistic Baroque style typical of late 17th-century German coinage. An applied Salzburg countermark of 1681 (styled '16S81') is impressed into the obverse field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the elaborate quartered arms of Saxony within a baroque shield, supported by two rampant lions as heraldic supporters, with the electoral sword and rautenkranz (rue-wreath) prominently featured. The denomination mark '1/3' appears in an oval cartouche at the base of the shield. The mintmaster's initials 'C R' appear in the field to the right of the shield. The encircling Latin legend names the Holy Roman Empire dignity, with the year 1673 incorporated into the legend. The composition is characteristic of the finely engraved Saxon electoral coinage of the period. |
