| Obverse description | Saint George depicted in full armour on horseback, thrusting a lance downward into a writhing dragon prostrate beneath the horse's hooves. The mounted figure faces right, with the horse rearing dramatically over the slain beast. An imperial orb appears in the upper left field. The circumferential legend in Latin runs between two beaded borders, identifying the issuing count. |

David Krause von Mansfeld-Hinterort presided over a county already hemorrhaging territory and revenue when this thaler was struck — the Thirty Years' War had turned the Saxon-Thuringian mining districts into contested ground, and Mansfeld's famous copper and silver mines were operating under severe disruption. The county would be absorbed by electoral Saxony within a generation of this issue.
The Tornau reference places this among a tightly documented series of Mansfeld thalers catalogued by weight variation and die pairing. The 1189 b designation indicates a recognized die variant, not simply a date range issue.
