| Obverse description | City gateway of Genoa rendered in a stylized architectural form, surmounted by the Sforza dynastic arms featuring the biscione (coiled serpent). The design is executed in the compact, bold style typical of Genoese hammered gold coinage of the fifteenth century. The abbreviated ducal legend is distributed around the central device within a beaded or plain border, invoking the authority of Galeazzo Maria Sforza as Duke of Milan and Lord of Genoa. |
