Reverse description	The reverse depicts Saint George, the patron saint, shown as a mounted armored knight on horseback, raising a sword in his right hand and trampling a dragon beneath the horse's hooves. The saint wears period plate armor and a plumed helmet, and the horse is shown in a dynamic rearing posture over the writhing, defeated dragon below. A continuous Latin legend surrounds the scene, reading EPS LEOD DVX BULL CO LOSSE, recording Georg's ecclesiastical and secular titles as Bishop of Liege, Duke of Bouillon, and Count of Looz. The composition fills the field with energetic movement characteristic of Renaissance hammered thalers from the Liege mint. A beaded inner border frames the legend from the central equestrian scene.
