| Obverse description | St. George, nimbate, depicted as a mounted knight in profile facing left, thrusting a lance downward to slay a dragon beneath the horse's hooves. The figure is rendered in a crude but vigorous medieval style typical of Adriatic communal coinage, with the horse shown in full stride. The abbreviated legend S * G * appears in the field, identifying the patron saint. |

| Reverse description | St. George, nimbate, shown standing en face in a frontal hieratic pose, holding a lance with which he strikes a dragon at his feet.
