| Reverse description | Saint George on horseback, depicted in dynamic action facing left, driving a lance downward to pierce a dragon prostrate beneath the horse's hooves. The armored equestrian figure is rendered with considerable sculptural relief, the horse rearing dramatically above the vanquished beast. The mint name MANTVA appears in the lower exergue. The circular Latin legend PROTECTOR NOSTER ASPICE surrounds the central composition within a beaded border, invoking the saint as protector of the duchy. |
