| Obverse description | Left-facing bust of Christopher Columbus occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail. An armillary sphere appears in the background to the right of the effigy, symbolising the navigational and astronomical knowledge of the Age of Discovery. A small rudder is positioned below the sphere, near the rim. The legend 'REPVBBLICA ITALIANA' arcs along the upper periphery, while the engraver's signature 'A. VALENTINI' appears in the lower field beneath the portrait. |
