| Obverse description | Draped bust of Francesco I d'Este facing right, with long curling hair, set within a circular Latin legend. The effigy displays the duke in armor or draped attire, rendered in the Italian Baroque style typical of mid-17th century hammered coinage. Mintmaster initials appear below the bust in the lower field. The surrounding legend reads the ruler's abbreviated titles and is separated by pellet stops. |

| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Saint Geminianus, patron saint of Modena, depicted kneeling to the right with his face raised toward the heavens and both arms outstretched in a gesture of supplication or prayer. Beneath the saint, a schematic representation of the walled city of Modena is visible. The devotional scene is framed by a circular Latin legend. The composition reflects the Counter-Reformation piety characteristic of Este dynastic coinage of this period. |
