| Reverse description | The crowned Visconti heraldic device—the biscia, a coiled serpent devouring a man—is displayed prominently in the central field, dividing initials to either side and flanked by two abbreviated date numerals. The composition is contained within a reeded or beaded inner circle. The encircling uncial Latin legend proclaims the lord's dominion over Milan, Verona, and further territories abbreviated by the contraction mark. The reverse, like the obverse, reflects the refined yet utilitarian style of late Visconti-era civic coinage struck under Gian Galeazzo's authority over Verona. |
