| Obverse description | Central field features the crowned arms of the Republic of Lucca, displaying the civic shield surmounted by an ornate crown. The word LIBERTAS appears prominently on a scroll or within the shield, affirming the republic's guiding motto. A circular Latin legend reading LIBERTAS RESPVBLICA LVCENSIS surrounds the arms, separated from the design by a beaded inner border. The heraldic composition is rendered in a baroque style characteristic of 18th-century Italian minting. |
