| Reverse description | Saint George depicted on horseback rearing to the left, the saint clad in full armor and grasping the reins in his left hand while thrusting a long spear downward with his right to slay the dragon prostrate beneath the horse's hooves at lower right. The composition is dynamic and typical of the chivalric iconography favored by the Gonzaga court. A beaded inner circle encloses the design, with a continuous Latin legend in Gothic characters occupying the outer border. |
