| Beschrijving keerzijde | An armored equestrian figure — the ancient symbol of Ancona — shown in dynamic profile riding to the right, with the rider brandishing a weapon aloft. The bold, vigorous style is consistent with the Anconitan ducat tradition of the late 15th and early 16th centuries. The surrounding Latin legend references the ancient sign or emblem of Ancona, affirming the city's civic identity under papal suzerainty. The irregular flan and flat relief are characteristic of hammered gold production at the Ancona mint. |

Leo X — born Giovanni de' Medici — was elected pope in March 1513 and almost immediately reasserted direct papal control over Ancona, a port city on the Adriatic that had repeatedly tested the limits of its nominal submission to Rome. The right to strike gold coinage there was both a revenue instrument and a political declaration. Leo's pontificate was also the one that drove Martin Luther to nail his theses to the Wittenberg door in 1517, partly in outrage at the aggressive indulgence sales Leo authorized to fund Saint Peter's Basilica.
Ancona's ducats from this period are scarce survivors — the city's mint operated intermittently and under close curial supervision.
