| Obverse description | Saint George on horseback, depicted in right profile, slaying a dragon beneath the horse's hooves. The armored equestrian figure raises a sword or lance in the field above the serpentine dragon. The design is rendered in the bold, compact style typical of German hammered gold coinage of the early seventeenth century. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device within a beaded or plain border. |

| Reverse description | Three heraldic shields arranged in a trilobe formation, one at top and two at base, representing the arms of the co-ruling counts of Mansfeld-Artern. The date 1620 is divided at the bottom of the design, flanked by the mintmaster's initials. An imperial orb appears above the shield arrangement. A circular Latin legend surrounds the composition, consistent with the joint coinage issued under Volrat VI, Wolfgang III, and John George II. |
