| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the quartered heraldic shield of the della Rovere dynasty, surmounted by a ducal crown. The escutcheon displays the combined arms of Urbino, incorporating the characteristic diagonal baton of the della Rovere family alongside additional dynastic quarterings. A circular Latin legend surrounds the shield, reading FRANC M II VRB DVX VI E C, identifying Francis Maria II as sixth Duke of Urbino. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan and bold relief typical of hammered Italian Renaissance coinage. A beaded or toothed border frames the design at the coin's periphery. |
