| Obverse description | Draped and veiled bust of Bona of Savoy, Duchess of Milan, facing right, rendered in high relief in the late Quattrocento Renaissance style. The head is covered by a fine veil falling behind the neck, with drapery visible at the truncation. The effigy is set within a plain inner circle, with the Latin legend distributed around the outer field reading BONA 7 IO GZ M DVCES MELI VI, identifying Bona and Giovanni Galeazzo Maria Sforza as co-rulers and Dukes of Milan. The portrait displays the characteristic refined naturalism associated with Milanese court art of the Sforza period. |
