| Reverse description | Saint George, armored and mounted on a rearing horse, is depicted in dynamic right-facing pose as he drives his lance downward to slay the dragon prostrate beneath the horse's hooves. The dragon is rendered in fine detail beneath the composition, and the date 1792 appears in the exergue below. A two-part German motto legend is arranged around the periphery of the field, divided to either side of the central equestrian scene. |

Francis Gundacar of Mansfeld-Bornstedt struck this ducat in 1792 under rights that were, by then, an anachronism. The County of Mansfeld had fragmented across multiple lines over centuries of inheritance disputes, and Bornstedt was among the last of those splinter holdings still exercising independent coinage authority in the dying years of the Holy Roman Empire — authority that would be extinguished entirely within a decade. KM#1 and Fr#1576 both list this as effectively a one-type series, suggesting no sustained program was ever intended.
