| Obverse description | Armored bust of Alfonso II d'Este, Duke of Ferrara, facing right, depicting the late portrait of the ruler with curly hair and elaborate Renaissance armor with decorative detailing at the gorget and pauldron. The effigy is rendered in high relief in the hammered style characteristic of late sixteenth-century Italian coinage. A beaded inner border frames the design. The Latin legend encircles the bust, identifying the ruler and his titles. |
