| Reverse description | The reverse presents a boldly rendered high-relief depiction of Saint George, nimbed and clad in Roman armour, mounted on a rearing horse and thrusting a lance downward toward a winged dragon coiled beneath the horse's hooves. The saint carries a shield at his right side and the dragon is portrayed with scaled body and open jaws in a dynamic composition evoking the traditional iconographic rendering of the legend. A continuous Latin legend encircles the central device within a beaded border, reading in full around the field. |
