| Reverse description | Central field displaying the abbreviated territorial titles of the Gonzaga dominions, arranged in three lines reading MAN / E·M·F / C·V·G, standing for MANTVAE ET MONTIS FERRATI CAROLI VILLAE GASTALLAE. The lettering is bold and raised, occupying most of the flan with no border or additional decorative elements. The strike is characteristically crude and somewhat flat in areas, as is common for hammered copper soldos of this duchy. No figurative device accompanies the legend. The reverse composition is purely epigraphic, reflecting the utilitarian nature of this small-denomination circulation piece. |
