| Reverse description | The reverse depicts Saint George, patron and protector of Ferrara, shown as an armored equestrian figure on horseback moving to the right, his lance directed downward to slay a dragon beneath the horse's hooves. The composition follows the classical hagiographic iconographic tradition common to Northern Italian papal issues. The date appears in the exergue below the ground line. The encircling legend identifies the saint and his role as protector of the city of Ferrara. |
