| Obverse description | Tobit (Tobias) depicted in left-facing profile, bending forward to the right as he buries a dead body laid upon the ground before him; the figure is rendered in a detailed Renaissance style with flowing draped garments. A small branch with leaves is visible to the right of the scene. The Latin legend TOBIAS. CA. I. appears in the exergue below a ground line, referencing the Book of Tobit, Chapter 1, in which Tobias buries the dead at personal risk. The entire design is contained within a plain raised border. |
