| Obverse description | Crude draped bust of Alfonso IV d'Este facing right, rendered in low relief in a rough hammered style typical of small copper coinage of the period. The effigy occupies the central field, with the hair and drapery indicated by rudimentary engraving lines. A partial circular legend surrounds the bust, reading ALPH•IV•M•R•E•C•D•IX•E•T•, representing the duke's abbreviated titles. The overall style reflects the modest artistic standard applied to base-metal fractional coinage of the Este duchy. |
