| Reverse description | Central shield bearing the arms of the Teutonic Order, consisting of a floriated cross formed by four architectural pillar-like elements with an escutcheon in the center charged with an eagle. The four quadrants defined by the cross display the quartered heraldic arms of Georg Friedrich on German-shaped escutcheons, arranged clockwise: the quartered sable and argent Hohenzollern coat of arms, the crowned rampant lion of Ansbach, the griffin of Pomerania, and the red eagle of Brandenburg. A Latin legend encircles the composition within a beaded inner circle, commencing at 1 o'clock, with the date divided by the mintmark at the conclusion of the legend. |
