Inscriptions Signed (upper left) with winged serpent and dated 15 33
Notes Inscription: I am rightly called Friedrich, / for I maintained a blessed peace in my domain / with great wisdom, patience, and luck, / despite the machinations of a number of rogues. / I graced my lands with new buildings / and endowed a new university / at Wittenberg in Saxony / that became famous throughout the world, / for from it the Word of God came forth / and wrought great change in many places. / It destroyed the papal empire / and brought back the true faith. / They elected me emperor, / but my old age protested, / so I chose Emperor Charles [Charles V, 1500–1558] / and neither favors nor money could dissuade me.
