| Obverse description | Full-length standing figure of the armored prince Paolo Besso Ferrero-Fieschi, depicted in three-quarter view turned slightly to the right, holding a sword with the point directed downward. The figure is rendered in the late Renaissance hammered style typical of minor Italian principality coinage. The surrounding legend in Latin identifies the issuer and his titles. The field displays the characteristic irregular flan associated with hammered gold ducats of this period. |
