| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the Malaspina heraldic device, rendered as an eight-pointed star or rayed wheel motif in low relief, characteristic of the hammered billon coinage of the marquisate. The design is set within a plain, unbordered field on an irregularly shaped flan typical of mid-sixteenth-century Italian feudal issues. The abbreviated legend GVL MAS P MAR, referencing Guglielmo Malaspina as Marquis, appears partially around the periphery in Latin script. The coin exhibits the rough, uneven surfaces consistent with hand-hammered production and shows significant patination. |
