| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a decorative quadrilobe frame, the papal arms of Alexander VI are displayed, surmounted by the crossed keys of Saint Peter and the pontifical tiara. The shield bears the Borgia family coat-of-arms. A circular Latin legend surrounds the quadrilobe, identifying the issuing pope. The overall composition is executed in the refined hammered style characteristic of late 15th-century Italian papal coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Giovanni Battista Orsini served as papal legate to Bologna under Alexander VI, a posting that came with the right to strike coinage — a privilege Bologna's governors wielded jealously throughout the papal period. Orsini's legateship coincided almost exactly with Cesare Borgia's systematic campaign to consolidate control over the Romagna, which put Bologna under intense political pressure and made the continuity of local mint authority a matter of some significance.
Alexander VI died in August 1503, fixing the terminal date of this type precisely.
