| Obverse description | St. George depicted full-length, standing facing, clad in military attire, holding a spear upright in his right hand and a round shield in his left. The saint is identified by an abbreviated Greek legend flanking the figure in the field. The letter B appears to the left, with a retrograde B to the right, and the abbreviated epithet ΘΑ ΓΕ (Ἅγιος Γεώργιος) is inscribed to either side. The style is characteristic of Nicaean-period Byzantine billon trachea, with a shallow concave (scyphate) fabric and bold, schematic die-cutting. |
