| Obverse description | Full-length armored figure of the feudal lord Antonio Gaetano Trivulzio-Gallio standing facing, wearing plate armor and holding a sword upright in the right hand and a bundle of arrows in the left, in the style of the Hungarian-type ducat. The date 1686 is divided across the lower field on either side of the figure. The surrounding legend, rendered in Latin, is arranged within a beaded inner border running along the coin's irregular hammered periphery. |

| Obverse lettering | ANT. CAIE. TR-IVL. PRIN. S. R. I. 16 86 |
| Reverse description | Five-line Latin inscription AD BONITATE AVREI HVNCARIO RETENY IMPERIAL arranged within an ornate cartouche or tablet, referencing the fineness standard equivalent to the Hungarian ducat and the issuing authority of Retegno. The cartouche is framed by elaborate strapwork or foliate scrollwork decoration in the field, with flourishes at the top and bottom, characteristic of late 17th-century Italian feudal coinage engraving. The overall design reflects the conventions of contemporary Imperial ducat-standard gold coinage. |
