Reverse description A crowned imperial eagle displayed, standing left with wings spread, its sinister talon resting upon a heraldic coat-of-arms. The reverse commemorates Francesco Maria I's appointment as Captain General of the Church under Pope Leo X, as affirmed by the surrounding legend. The eagle is depicted with fine feather detail and a prominent crown, rendered in the hammered style typical of Renaissance Italian ducats. The full circumferential legend references the papal authority of Leo X and the duke's ecclesiastical military role.
