| Obverse description | Full-length facing effigy of Count Antonio Maria Tizzone in full armor, standing erect and holding a sword raised over the right shoulder. The figure is rendered in the late Renaissance hammered style characteristic of minor Italian lordships. A heraldic shield appears at the lower left of the figure. The circumferential legend in Latin reads DOM ANT MA TIT COM DECI with the date 16 03 divided on either side of the figure. |

| Reverse description | A square cartouche or tablet bearing a five-line Latin inscription centered within the field, enclosed by an elaborately ornamented frame featuring foliate and scrollwork decoration at the corners and sides. The inscription records the monetary authority of the count as lord of Desana and vassal of the Holy Roman Empire. The overall design follows the typology of north Italian feudal gold coinage of the early seventeenth century. |
