| Obverse description | Saint George on horseback facing right, depicted in armour astride a rearing horse, thrusting a lance downward at the dragon beneath the horse's hooves. The scene is rendered in the late Renaissance hammered style typical of early seventeenth-century German goldgulden. A small orb or annulet appears above the horse's head. The circular Latin legend naming the three co-ruling counts runs along the periphery of the field. |

| Reverse description | Centrally placed quartered shield bearing the Mansfeld arms, surmounted by a small helmet or crest and flanked by decorative elements. Beneath the shield, a small imperial or heraldic eagle is visible, with the date divided across the lower field. The surrounding circular Latin legend continues the titles of the issuing counts, referencing their lordships over Heldrungen, Seeburg, Schraplau, and Arnstein. The overall composition is characteristic of the hammered goldgulden coinage of the Mansfeld counties in the early seventeenth century. |
