| Reverse description | Three-line inscription in bold Roman capital letters within an ornate laurel wreath, reading DVX / CASTRI / I, identifying Pier Luigi Farnese as the first Duke of Castro. The wreath is composed of stylized laurel branches tied at the base, with decorative foliate elements filling the spaces between the boughs. The legend is centered and well-spaced within the wreath, consistent with the typographic conventions of mid-16th century Italian hammered coinage. The overall composition is symmetrical and heraldic in character. |
