| Obverse description | Full-length figure of Saint George in armour, facing right, slaying a dragon beneath his feet, with the historic shield of Mansfeld arms displayed in the lower field before him. The surrounding legend in Latin identifies the three co-ruling counts. The design is rendered in the vigorous late-Renaissance hammered style typical of mid-sixteenth-century German territorial coinage. |

| Reverse description | The new quartered arms of Mansfeld displayed on an ornate shield, surmounted by two elaborately crested and mantled helmets. The date of issue appears in the field between the two helmets. The surrounding Latin legend denotes the monetary authority and territory of Mansfeld. The heraldic composition is characteristic of the elaborate armorial reverses found on mid-sixteenth-century German Thaler-series coinage. |
