| Reverse description | A sunflower plant with leaves and stem shown in full, its head turned upward toward a radiant sun depicted in the upper left of the inner field, symbolising devotion and the emblematic device of the Gonzaga during the siege. The central motif is enclosed within a beaded inner circle and surrounded by a broad wreath of laurel or olive branches forming an outer border. The denomination numeral 80 appears within the field, referencing the value of 80 soldi. The overall composition is characteristic of the allegorical imagery employed on Mantuan siege coinage of 1629. |
