| Obverse description | Draped and armored bust of Cosimo III de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, facing right, with long flowing hair rendered in the Baroque style. The effigy displays considerable sculptural relief, with fine detail in the lace cravat and pauldron visible at the shoulder. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the circular Latin legend distributed around the periphery reading COSMVS·III·D·G·MAG·DVX·ETRVR·VI, identifying the ruler as Cosimo III, by the Grace of God Grand Duke of Etruria VI. |
