| Obverse description | Six-line Latin inscription arranged within a central field, reading VIN / II D G / DVX MAN / VII ET / M F / V, representing the abbreviated titles of Vincenzo II, Duke of Mantua. The inscription is enclosed within a beaded inner circle and surrounded by a wreath of laurel or olive branches, with a decorative floral ornament at the top and a tie at the base. The overall design is characteristic of early seventeenth-century Italian hammered gold coinage, emphasizing heraldic titulature over portraiture. |
