| Obverse description | Armored equestrian figure of George of Austria facing right, depicted astride a rearing horse and brandishing a sword, rendered in bold relief in the Gothic tradition of late medieval hammered coinage. The rider wears a crowned helmet and full plate armor, with a large quartered heraldic shield displayed beneath the horse, charged with the arms of the Prince-Bishopric of Liege and associated territories. Two lion supporters flank the shield at the base of the field. The peripheral legend, separated from the central device by an inner beaded border, reads GEORGIVS AB AVSTREA, identifying the issuer as George of Austria. |
