The circumferential legend in Latin reads GEORGIVS VI D:G:BR OMN:REX F:D:IND:IMP., divided by the portrait, with the engraver's initials HP appearing below the truncation. The portrait is rendered in a restrained, naturalistic style typical of the period, set against a flat field, with milled dentils bordering the rim. |
