| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a large quartered heraldic shield displaying the arms of the Visconti and allied dynasties: the upper-left and lower-right quarters bear the Visconti biscione (a serpent devouring a child), while the upper-right and lower-left quarters display lions passant and an eagle. The shield is rendered in Gothic style with a plain, unadorned field, consistent with the 'plain arms' designation. A circular Gothic legend surrounds the shield, separated from it by a beaded inner border, with a further beaded or corded outer border framing the entire composition. |
