| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, the city gateway of Genoa depicted as a crenellated arch flanked by two towers, each surmounted by the letter A (for Adorno), rendered in the Gothic style typical of Genoese hammered coinage. The surrounding circular legend in Latin reads ANTONIOTVS ADVR GEN DVX, identifying the Doge Antoniotto Adorno as issuer, separated by a small cross or stop. The overall composition is characteristic of early sixteenth-century Genoese gold issues, with the architectural motif serving as the principal device of the field. |
