| Obverse description | Armored bust of Scipione Gonzaga, Duke of Bozzolo, facing right, wearing a lace ruff collar and elaborately decorated cuirass with engraved detailing. The portrait is rendered in a bold, somewhat crude hammered style characteristic of minor Italian feudal coinages of the mid-17th century. The bust is contained within a plain inner circle. A circular Latin legend surrounds the portrait, reading SCIP·GON·DVX·SAB·S·R·I·E·BOZ·P, referencing the ruler's titles as Duke and Prince of Bozzolo and Imperial dignity. |
