| Obverse description | A large stylized fleur-de-lis occupies the central field, rendered in the characteristic Florentine Gothic style with three prominent petals rising from a crosshatched base and flanked by scrolling lateral lobes. The fleur-de-lis, the civic emblem of Florence, is depicted with fine detail including stippled and hatched surface ornamentation on the petals. A circular legend surrounds the central device, reading FLORENTIA, the Latin name of the city, broken into two segments separated by decorative stops. The overall design is characteristic of the Florentine gold florin tradition established in the 13th century and maintained with remarkable consistency through the Republic period. |
