| Reverse description | Saint George on horseback, depicted in dynamic right-facing motion, thrusting a lance downward to slay a dragon prostrate beneath the horse's hooves. The composition closely follows the classic Saint George and the Dragon motif. A Ge'ez inscription in the lower exergue identifies the denomination. The design is set within a plain inner border with a beaded outer border. |
