The effigy is rendered in high relief with fine detail to the hair and drapery at the shoulder. A circular Latin legend surrounds the portrait, reading CAR·BESS·PRIN·MESSARANI, identifying the ruler as Carlo Besso, Prince of Masserano. The coin is struck within a toothed or beaded border that frames the entire obverse field. |
