| Beschrijving voorzijde | Centrally placed quartered shield of arms of Mansfeld, combining the distinctive lozengy (diamond-patterned) and barry (horizontally striped) quarters characteristic of the county, surmounted by an ornate crested helm with elaborate foliate mantling. The two-digit date (47, for 1547) flanks the helm to either side within the field. A circular Latin legend surrounds the entire composition, reading the names of the joint rulers Gebhard and Hans Georg. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Saint George depicted as a fully armoured knight on horseback, shown in dynamic profile to the right, thrusting a lance downward to slay a writhing dragon prostrate beneath the horse's hooves. The knight wears a plumed helmet and detailed plate armour, and the horse is rendered with energy and movement. A beaded inner circle frames the central equestrian scene. The surrounding Latin legend, separated by pellet stops, identifies the joint rulers' title and lordship over Mansfeld. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mansfeld's silver output in the 1540s was driven almost entirely by the extraordinary productivity of its copper-silver mines in the Harz foothills — among the most actively worked in the Holy Roman Empire at the time. Gebhard VII and John George I issued jointly under the complex co-rulership arrangements that characterized the fractured Mansfeld comital lines, a structure that produced numerous short-lived paired issues before the county's eventual partition.
Tornau's numbering of 899–900 reflects two distinct die combinations for this type, a product of the county's high minting tempo during these years.
