| Obverse description | The obverse features a right-facing portrait of the Roman historian Titus Livius, rendered after a sculptural work by Lorenzo Larese Moretti, positioned at centre. To the left of the effigy appear the monogram 'RI' (Repubblica Italiana) and the designer's initials 'C.M.' for Claudia Momoni; to the right, the numeral '17' — referencing the year of Titus Livius' death (17 AD) — is paired with the issue year '2017', and the mint mark 'R' for the Rome Mint. The inner field is bounded by a decorative dot-decorated frame, with the legend 'TITO • LIVIO' inscribed along the upper periphery. The outer ring bears the twelve stars of the European Union. |
