| Obverse description | Armored and draped bust of Vincenzo I facing left, wearing a high ruff collar and elaborately decorated cuirass rendered in fine relief. The duke is depicted bearded with curled hair in the courtly fashion of the early seventeenth century. The effigy occupies most of the field, executed in the bold, slightly high-relief style characteristic of Mantuan hammered gold coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the bust, separated from the effigy by a beaded inner border. |

The elaborate frame is surmounted by a ducal crown, from which the inscription FID-ES and a small representation of Mount Olympus emerge above. The collar of the Order of the Redeemer encircles the shield. A Latin legend runs around the periphery of the reverse field. |
