| Obverse description | Central field displays the Visconti biscione: a crowned serpent coiled sinisterly in profile, depicted swallowing a human figure, rendered in the characteristic Gothic style of the Milanese mint. The serpent's body forms multiple sinuous coils filling the field, with the crown surmounting its head clearly struck above. The legend encircles the device within a beaded inner border, separated from the scalloped flan edge by an outer border. |
