| Obverse description | Armored bust of Ottavio Farnese facing right, rendered in the Renaissance style typical of mid-16th-century Italian coinage. The effigy is set within a circular legend in Latin incorporating the duke's name and regnal title, with the date of issue appearing within or adjacent to the legend. The portrait displays characteristic period detailing in the cuirass and drapery, though the small module and hammered fabric result in moderate relief definition. |
