| Reverse description | A turreted castle or tower, surmounted by a cross, depicted in frontal view with detailed battlements and rendered in the style of the arms of Chios. The castle device is set within a beaded inner circle, with the peripheral Latin legend distributed around the outer field. The letters L and I flanking the castle within the legend field serve as the mintmaster or privy mark identifying the issue to Lazaros Giustiniani. The overall design reflects the civic heraldic tradition of the Genoese lordship of Chios. |
