| Obverse description | The heraldic lion of Bologna depicted rampant to the left, holding a banner or standard in its raised forepaw, occupying the full field of the coin. The design is rendered in a bold, medieval heraldic style typical of Bolognese civic coinage. The coin is struck on an irregular flan with a beaded border visible along the upper portion of the rim. |
