| Obverse description | A city gateway rendered in the Gothic style occupies the central field, surmounted by a cardinal's hat with pendant tassels, all contained within a solid inner circle and a surrounding beaded border. The architectural motif references Genoa's civic identity and the ecclesiastical rank of the issuer, Paul of Campofregoso, who held both the cardinalate and the dogeship simultaneously. A peripheral legend in Latin uncial script runs along the outer margin, citing his titles and ordinal position as doge. |
