The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of Christian, the reigning duke at the time, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the House of Wettin, which was the ruling dynasty of Saxony. Additionally, the coin's design includes several religious symbols, such as a cross and a crescent moon, which reflects the religious diversity of the region during that time period. This blend of religious and political symbolism makes the coin a fascinating piece of history and a valuable collector's item.
