| Reverse description | Central field bears a plain Greek cross with equal arms extending nearly to the inner circle, dividing the field into four quadrants. The cross is bold and unadorned, typical of Genoese colonial coinage of the period. An inner beaded or serrated border frames the cross, with the Latin legend distributed around the outer margin. The coin displays the irregular flan and uneven strike characteristic of hammered silver production. |
