| Beschrijving keerzijde | A cross pattée occupies the central field, with a pellet or small roundel placed in each of the four cantons formed by the arms of the cross. The design is rendered in the restrained, linear style typical of small billon issues of the Piedmontese communes. The encircling legend + MONETA · ASTENSIS identifies the issue as coinage of Asti, separated from the central device by an inner border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Asti's communal coinage of the fifteenth century occupies an awkward political moment: the city had passed under Milanese Visconti control in 1342, yet continued issuing coins under its own communal name well into the following century, a arrangement that suited the Visconti's preference for local administrative facades. The obolo, fractional even by the standards of billon small change, would have handled the lowest-tier transactions in a market economy already shifting toward larger silver and the first stirrings of gold.
The MIR 54R designation flags this as a rare die variety within an already scarce type.
