| Reverse description | Central shield bearing the arms of Milan — the Visconti biscione (a serpent devouring a child) — surmounted by a crested great helm facing left, the crest formed by a dragon's head with open jaws consuming a child, flanked by elaborate mantling decorated with flames and water buckets, heraldic emblems of the Sforza dynasty. The overall composition reflects the ornate heraldic style of fifteenth-century Italian coinage. The surrounding legend is divided by the shield and helm into upper and lower arcs. |
