| Obverse description | The quartered heraldic shield of Cardinal Guido Ascanio Sforza occupies the centre of the field, surmounted by the crossed keys of Saint Peter and a cardinal's galero with pendant tassels. The composition is rendered in the bold, high-relief style characteristic of mid-sixteenth-century Italian hammered coinage. A beaded inner border frames the design, while the circular Latin legend runs along the outer rim. |
