| Obverse description | Full-length armored figure of Scipione Gonzaga standing facing right, depicted in military dress with detailed plate armor and hose, the right hand resting at his side. The effigy occupies the central field of the coin, rendered in the bold relief characteristic of early seventeenth-century Italian hammered gold coinage. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the Latin legend SCIP D G DVX SABL BOZ PRIN distributed around the periphery, identifying the ruler as Duke of Sabbioneta and Prince of Bozzolo by the grace of God. |

| Reverse description | The crowned Madonna seated facing, holding the Christ Child on her left arm, both figures rendered in high relief in a devotional style typical of northern Italian Renaissance coinage. The Virgin wears a radiate crown and flowing draped robes, with the Infant Christ turned slightly outward. A beaded inner border surrounds the central type, while the Latin monetary legend MONE NOVA AVR LIB XVII X runs around the periphery, identifying this as a new gold money tariffed at seventeen lire and ten soldi. |
