| Obverse description | Armored half-length bust of Prince George II Rákóczi facing right, wearing elaborate plate armor with decorative collar and a feathered hat. The prince holds a scepter in his right hand. The effigy is rendered in the baroque portrait style typical of mid-17th century Transylvanian coinage. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the abbreviated Latin legend distributed around the periphery. |
