| Obverse description | Two nude male figures in the Mannerist sculptural tradition flank a central fountain element, each raising one arm upward to support a tiered fountain structure above them; in the background, an aerial perspective of the formal gardens of Villa Lante at Bagnaia is rendered in fine relief. A recumbent mascaron decorates the lower central field. The circular legend REPUBBLICA ITALIANA arcs along the upper periphery, separated by a six-pointed star ornament, while the engraver's name COLANERI appears incuse along the lower rim. |
