Obverse description Central crowned shield bearing three scallop shells arranged two above one, the arms of the Trivulzio family, set within a beaded inner circle. A ornate crown surmounts the escutcheon. The surrounding legend, running clockwise within a beaded border, reads IO IA TRI MAR VIGLE ET MARES FRAN, abbreviating the titles and name of Johann Jakob Trivulzio, Marquis of Vigevano and lord of Mesocco. The hammered flan is of irregular circular form, characteristic of late 15th-century Italian goldsmithing.
