| Reverse description | A quartered heraldic shield displaying the Imperial Eagle and the Visconti biscione (serpent devouring a child), surmounted by two elaborate crested helmets with flowing mantling and decorative ornamentation. The shield is centrally positioned in the field, with the surrounding legend referencing the regency of Ludovico Maria Sforza. The composition reflects the prestige heraldry of the Sforza-Visconti dynasty and is typical of the grand armorial designs employed on late 15th-century Milanese silver coinage. |
