| Reverse description | Two superimposed and angularly shifted crosses occupy the entire reverse field, their arms tapering to pointed ends and creating an eight-pointed star-like composition at center. The larger cross divides the circular Gothic legend into four segments reading CO, MES, GOR, ICI — an abbreviation of COMES GORICIE (Count of Görz). A small rosette ornament appears at the top between legend segments, consistent with the obverse decoration. |

| Additional information |
Leonard V ruled Görz during the county's final generations of independence — the line died out in 1500, after which the territory reverted to the Habsburgs under a succession agreement signed decades earlier. These small silver issues circulated in a region caught between competing Alpine powers, and Leonard's long reign of nearly half a century saw the county's political room narrow steadily. The CNA K 39 attribution covers the full span of his rule without distinguishing die phases, so precise dating within the type remains unresolved.
