| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the arms of the Republic of Lucca — a diagonal bend on a horizontally hatched field — displayed within elaborate baroque scrollwork cartouche supporters. The shield is surmounted by a ducal crown with fleurons and pearls. The circular legend RESPUBLICA LUCENSIS runs along the periphery, separated from the toothed border by a raised rim. |

| Reverse description | Saint Martin of Tours, depicted as a Roman soldier in armour and plumed helmet, seated on horseback facing left, extending his sword or cloak toward a semi-naked beggar standing to the right who raises one arm in supplication. The scene is set on a ground line with small foliate details, evoking the celebrated act of charity. The circular legend SANCTUS · MARTINUS reads along the upper periphery, and the date appears in the exergue below the ground line flanked by pellets. |
