| Obverse description | Central field depicts the Capitoline Wolf standing to right, suckling the twins Romulus and Remus below, rendered in bold relief in the characteristic late-Renaissance hammered style. The group is set within a beaded inner border. The surrounding legend, separated by rosette stops, reads: ✠ R • P • SEN • IN MONTE • ILICINO, with the date 15 Ⓐ 59 divided around the lower field, referencing the Republic of Siena in exile at Montalcino. The irregular flan and strong relief are typical of emergency coinage struck under French protection at the Montalcino mint. |
