| Reverse description | Central device consisting of a floriated or lily-tipped cross with fleur-de-lis terminals at each arm, displayed within a plain inner circle. The surrounding Latin legend reads VIC IMP PERP 1581 R C, referencing the title of Imperial Vicar in Perpetuity (Vicarius Imperialis Perpetuus) held by the Tizzone lords of Desana, with the date 1581 incorporated into the legend. The strike is characteristic of small hammered billon coinage from minor north Italian feudal mints of the late sixteenth century. |
