| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a large, ornate Gothic letter 'S', the civic emblem of Siena, rendered in elaborate Renaissance decorative style with scrolling foliate flourishes and intricate interlaced curves. The monogram is boldly struck and dominates the flan. A circular beaded inner border separates the central device from the outer legend. The surrounding Latin inscription reads SENA VETVS CIVITAS VIRGINIS, identifying the ancient city of Siena as the City of the Virgin, presented in raised Roman lettering. |
