| Obverse description | Saint George depicted in full armour on horseback, thrusting a lance downward to slay the dragon beneath the horse's hooves; an orb surmounted by a cross appears at upper right in the field. The equestrian figure is rendered in the vigorous late-Renaissance style characteristic of early seventeenth-century German coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the central device, with a Latin circular legend running along the outer border incorporating the names and titles of the three co-ruling counts. |
