| Reverse description | Within a notched or serrated inner circle, a cross pattée occupies the central field, its arms broadening toward the terminals in the characteristic Sienese medieval style. A circular Latin legend runs along the outer border, incorporating an engraver's mark in the form of a bellflower, which serves as a die-maker's personal identifier and aids in attribution. The overall composition reflects the standard grosso type of the Tuscan communal minting tradition of the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries. |
