| Obverse description | Standing allegorical figure of Liberty shown in three-quarter view facing right, draped in classical robes, raising a Phrygian liberty cap aloft on a long pole held in her right hand, while her left hand rests upon a fasces with axe. The figure occupies the full height of the field, rendered in a neoclassical style consistent with French Revolutionary iconography. The circular legend REPUBLICA NAPOLITANA runs along the periphery, divided by the figure with REPUBLICA to the left and NAPOLITANA to the right. |
