| Obverse description | Armored bust of Ludovico Maria Sforza facing right, depicted in high relief with finely rendered flowing hair and plate armor visible at the shoulder and neck. A small helmeted figure appears at the top of the field above the bust, a characteristic decorative element of Milanese Renaissance coinage. The surrounding Latin legend runs along the inner border of a beaded rim, identifying the ruler as Duke of Milan. |

| Reverse description | A fully armored equestrian knight, representing the Duke in martial guise, riding a prancing horse to the right while brandishing a raised sword in his right hand. The horse and rider are rendered with vigorous Renaissance artistry, the caparisoned mount shown in dynamic motion against a plain field. A shield bearing the Sforza arms is visible on the horse's flank. The surrounding Latin legend, separated by stops, encircles the design within a beaded border and records the ruler's additional titles as Count and Lord. |
