| Reverse description | Central cross pattee divides the field into four quarters, each containing a heraldic shield representing the principal lordships of the Prince-Bishop: the arms of Liege, Bouillon, Looz, and a fourth territorial device, all rendered in high relief characteristic of hammered gold coinage. Small decorative elements occupy the angles between the shields. The circumferential legend, running between two beaded borders, reads + EPS LEOD DVX BVLLO COMES LOS, proclaiming George's titles as Bishop of Liege, Duke of Bouillon, and Count of Looz. |
