| Obverse description | Within a beaded border, a standing robed female figure — personifying Venice or the Virgin — faces left in three-quarter view, extending her right hand in a gesture of offering or blessing toward a kneeling male figure at lower left, who presents gifts or tribute before her. The kneeling figure is depicted in smaller scale, emphasizing the hierarchical composition. The circumferential Latin legend reads MATRI AMANTI AMANTES FILII, meaning 'To the loving mother, loving sons'. The mintmaster's initials F·B· appear in the lower exergue, separated by pellets. |
