In addition to the Luther cup in the Stadtgeschichtliches Museum in Leipzig, the low lid cup of the Grünes Gewölbe belongs to the scientifically secured silver objects owned by the Reformer. Around 1540 he was given this by his friend and fellow combatant, the Wittenberg theologian and Probst Justus Jonas. Its coat of arms is adorned with a small medal on the lid knob. A larger from the year 1538 with the portrait of Luther and his motto "In stillness and hope you will be strong" is in the lid. On 29 August 1677, the pastor and General Superintendent Calovius gave this cup to his Elector Johann Georg II, who had him placed nine months later in his Electoral Kunstkammer.
