| Obverse description | Central field displays a large Gothic initial 'G' enclosed within a beaded inner circle, representing Giorgio (George) Benzoni, Lord of Crema. A small heraldic shield marks the commencement of the peripheral legend, which is rendered in Gothic uncial script. The legend reads G DOMINVS CREME, identifying the issuer as Giorgio, Lord of Crema. The overall design is characteristic of late medieval Italian communal coinage, with crude hammered workmanship producing an irregularly shaped flan. The lettering and central device are boldly struck relative to the small module of the coin. |
