| Obverse description | Armored half-length effigy of George II Rákóczi facing right, depicted in elaborately decorated plate armor with a ruff collar and a plumed hat. The prince holds a scepter in his right hand, with a sword pommel visible at his left side. The portrait is rendered in high relief in the Transylvanian Baroque hammered tradition, with fine detailing on the armor's ornamental engravings. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the Latin legend distributed around the periphery of the field. |
