GROSS SIND DEINE WVNDER DV HERRBIST GVT VND GNÆDIG View of the Wartburg castle above Eisenach, above it the radiant name of Jehovah in the scroll and angel with a shield in the scroll // WO DER HERR NICHT DIE STADT BEHVTET SEYD THÄTER DES WORTS VND NICHT HÖRER ALLEIN View of the city of Eisenach, in which fire breaks out, in the background the Wartburg, above it two medallions with the city coat of arms and the open Bible. A conditionally rare, lovely dove-gray piece with eye-catching brilliance in the peripheries. The attribution to the city of Eisenach instead of the Duchy of Saxe-Eisenach is based on the marginal writing: "[...] D R Z E". This shows that the Council of Eisenach commissioned the medal.
