| Reverse description | A solitary elephant striding to the right, rendered in a stylized manner characteristic of Renaissance coinage, accompanied by a flock of sheep in the lower field. The design alludes to the duke's motto and personal impresa, contrasting the powerful elephant with the humble sheep. The surrounding legend INFESTVS INFESTIS, meaning 'hostile to the hostile,' encircles the central device within a beaded border. |
