| Obverse description | Within a plain inner circle, a large ornate cross patée occupies the central field, its four arms flanked by the letters L, V, C, and A arranged in the quadrants — forming the name LVCA, the abbreviation for Lucca. The cross features a decorative central boss. The surrounding legend, rendered in capital Latin letters separated by a cross ornament, reads CAROLVS IMPERATOR LVCA, invoking the authority of Charlemagne as the mythical founder and patron of the republic's coinage tradition. The outer border consists of a continuous row of beads, characteristic of the hammered coinage of the Italian states. |
