| Reverse description | Full-length standing allegorical figure of Placentia (the city of Piacenza), personified as a draped female figure facing front, holding a lily in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left, symbolizing prosperity and civic pride. A wolf is seated at the lower right, referencing the city's Roman colonial origins, while a reclining allegorical figure of the River Po appears at the lower left. The date and mintmaster's initials are divided in the exergue. The surrounding legend reads PLACENTIA·ROMANOR·COLONIA, affirming Piacenza's founding as a Roman colony. |
