Reverse description A bull's head facing full-front, crowned with a small open crown, centrally placed in the field and rendered in low relief consistent with hammered billon coinage of the period. The bull's head serves as the heraldic emblem of the Gonzaga lords of Castiglione delle Stiviere. A continuous Latin legend encircles the design, separated by pellet stops, recording the marquessate of Medole and further abbreviated titles.
