| Reverse description | Dynamic scene of Saint George on horseback, thrusting a lance downward to slay a dragon coiled beneath the horse's hooves. The saint is depicted with a halo, in full stride to the right, with flowing cape. The design closely follows the Pistrucci tradition seen on British sovereigns. The denomination inscription in Ge'ez script appears in the exergue, with a beaded border encircling the entire composition. |
