| Obverse description | Three armored half-length figures of Duke Georg III, Ludwig IV, and Christian facing forward in close grouping, their elaborate plate armor rendered in fine detail. A small imperial orb appears at the top of the composition between the outer figures, while decorative arabesques fill the exergue below. The portrait group is framed by an ornate arrangement of armorial accessories and drapery consistent with high-Baroque Silesian ducal portraiture. The encircling Latin legend identifies the three fraternal rulers by name and title. |
