| Obverse description | Full-length armored figure of Giacomo III Mandelli standing facing in the field, depicted in military attire with a baton or scepter in hand, rendered in the characteristic hammered style of northern Italian Renaissance coinage. The figure stands upon a small platform or exergual line at the base of the coin. A beaded or rope inner border frames the central device, with the abbreviated Latin legend surrounding the figure in the outer field reading IAC TA MAN FI IN MAC RE C CO M, identifying the lord and his titles. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicting the Imperial double-headed eagle, a symbol of the Mandelli lords' status as hereditary Vicars of the Holy Roman Empire, rendered in the bold, somewhat coarse style typical of hammered gold coinage of the Lombard lordships. The eagle is displayed within an inner beaded border, with the abbreviated Latin legend SACRIQ ROM IMP VICAR PERPET surrounding it in the outer field, proclaiming the issuer's title of Perpetual Vicar of the Sacred Roman Empire. |
