| Obverse description | Saint Ambrose depicted enthroned and facing, robed in episcopal vestments, holding a pastoral crozier in his left hand while raising his right hand in benediction. The saint is rendered in a stylized Gothic manner characteristic of northern Italian hammered coinage of the mid-fourteenth century. The figure occupies the full field between two concentric borders, with the outer border formed by a beaded circle. The surrounding legend in Gothic uncial and Latin lettering identifies the patron saint and the city of Milan. |
