| Obverse description | Central field occupied by an elaborate ornate cross with flared, foliage-decorated arms, each quadrant filled with acanthus leaf motifs and floral rosettes. Small pellets are placed at the junctions of the cross arms, and a central rosette forms the nexus. The mintmaster initials A·M· appear in the lower portion of the field, flanked by decorative stops. The peripheral legend IOANNES·CORNELIO·DVX·VEN·A·M· runs along the inner border, itself separated from the toothed outer rim by a beaded inner circle. |
