| Reverse description | Central field features a crowned double-headed Imperial eagle displayed, rendered in the bold, simplified style typical of hammered Renaissance feudal coinage. The eagle, symbolising the suzerainty of the Holy Roman Empire, is contained within a circular inner border. The surrounding legend in Latin capital letters reads CAROLVS IMPERATOR, referencing Emperor Charles V under whose authority the coin was issued. The crown above the eagle's heads reinforces the Imperial reference. The overall composition is emblematic of the relationship between the small Italian feudal county and its Imperial overlord. |
