| Reverse description | A frontal enthroned figure of Saint Ambrose, patron of Milan, depicted nimbate and wearing full episcopal vestments. The saint holds a crozier in his left hand as an emblem of ecclesiastical authority, while his right hand is raised in a gesture of benediction. The composition is rendered in the hieratic, two-dimensional style typical of late medieval Italian hammered coinage. The legend SCS AMBROSIVS encircles the figure, identifying the patron saint. The image reflects the strong civic and religious identity of the Milanese commune. |
