| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the heraldic shield of the Trivulzio family, displaying three vertical pales with crosshatched diaper pattern, flanked by elaborate foliate or dragon-like supporters on either side, all rendered in late-Gothic style. The shield is set within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding circumferential legend reads in Latin, separated by dots and rosette stops, identifying the issuing lord and his titles. |

| Reverse description | Saint George depicted full-length, armoured and nimbed, standing in three-quarter profile facing right, holding a large shield on his left arm while thrusting a lance or sword downward to slay a dragon prostrate beneath his feet. The figure is rendered in the late-medieval Italian hammered style with fine drapery details. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the Latin legend naming the saint disposed around the periphery, separated by double dots. |
