| Obverse description | Draped bust of Pope Gregory XIII facing right, wearing papal vestments including the fanon and cope, with a short beard; the date appears beneath the shoulder truncation. The encircling Latin legend names the pontiff and his title, interrupted by the date. The portrait is rendered in a bold, high-relief Renaissance style typical of Papal hammered silver coinage of the period. |
