| Description : The coin designed by Jordi Truxa depicts the inner
courtyard of the Zwinger in Dresden with a view of the crown gate. On the spire of the onion‐shaped dome, four eagles
bear the replica of the Polish royal crown ‐ the crown gate glorifies the Polish royal office of Augustus the Strong
as a fruitful government. The niche figures on the courtyard side show on the left Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture,
fertility and marriage, created by Balthasar Permoser around 1715 to symbolise summer, and on the right Pomona, the Roman
goddess of tree fruits, who embodies autumn allegories. The year of issue "2016" is shown on the top left, the German
mint mark (A = Staatliche Münze Berlin in Berlin, D = Bayerisches Hauptmünzamt
in Munich, F = Staatliche Münzen Baden‐Württemberg in Stuttgart,
G = Staatliche Münzen Baden‐Württemberg in Karlsruhe or J = Landesbetrieb
Hamburgische Münze in Hamburg) and the initials "JT" of the coin designer are shown on the top right, the country
abbreviation "D" (for Deutschland / Germany) and the name of the federal state "SACHSEN" (Saxony) are shown bottom centre. |
