Medal Showing John George II, Elector of Saxony, Knight of the Garter
The medal features a brownish metal composition with a circular shape. A figure wearing a large hat and ornate clothes holds a staff in one hand and what appears to be another object in the other. The figure is positioned on top of an animal, likely a lion. The outer edge of the medal features a decorative border of small dots or beads. The medal's surface bears an inscription in a foreign language, possibly French, which reads "ORDRE DE LA JARRTIERE * EN HONNEUR DU TRES * NOBLE ET TRES * PUISSANT MONSIEUR LE CHEVALIER DE LA GARTERE". The text encircles the medal, separated into four lines. The medal is set against a plain white background.
