| Obverse description | Armored bust of Francesco Filiberto Ferrero-Fieschi facing right, depicted with curled hair and a short beard, wearing a ruffled collar and plate armor with visible pauldron detailing. The effigy is rendered in the mannerist portrait style typical of late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century north Italian hammered gold coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the bust within the border of the irregular flan, reading FRAN PRINCEPS PRIMVS M ET M, identifying the ruler as the first prince of Masserano and Mombello. |

| Reverse description | Quartered heraldic shield of the Ferrero-Fieschi family, surmounted by a princely crown with elaborate foliate finials. The escutcheon displays the combined arms of the ruling house, with diagonal banded quarters and subsidiary charges including a rampant lion in the base canton. The shield is set within the coin field, encircled by the Latin motto legend EX VTROQVE ROBVR F II, a dynastic device signifying strength drawn from both lineages, with a small cross separating the end of the legend. |
