| Obverse description | A crowned helm in profile, rendered in relief at the centre of the field, surmounted by a plume or crest, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend MONETA NOVA MONTANARI runs along the periphery in Latin capital letters, separated by small pellets. The overall style is consistent with late-medieval Italian hammered coinage of the early sixteenth century. |
