| Reverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Saint Secundus, patron saint of Asti, depicted wearing a visored helmet and armour with flowing hair, set within a beaded inner circle. The saint is portrayed in the Renaissance manner as a Roman soldier, with carefully detailed pauldron and gorget visible at the truncation. The circular legend reads S SECONDVS ASTENSIS, identifying the patron saint and the mint city of Asti. The overall style reflects the refined Italian Renaissance medallic tradition applied to hammered silver coinage. |
