| Obverse description | Crowned rampant lion of Perugia depicted in the center of the field, facing left in a vigorous heraldic pose with forepaws raised, typical of the civic emblem of Perugia as used on Papal States coinage. The figure is rendered in the bold, somewhat crude style characteristic of hammered Renaissance municipal issues. A circular legend surrounds the central device, enclosed within a beaded border. The overall composition closely follows the established iconographic tradition of Perugian civic coinage of the early sixteenth century. |
