| Obverse description | Stylized map of Northern Italy occupies the central field, with the emblem of the Lega Nord — the figure of Alberto da Giussano, the legendary Lombard warrior — superimposed at center. The peripheral legend reads REPUBBLICA DEL NORD • NATHION VENETA • in raised Latin characters, encircling the design. The overall composition reflects the regionalist and separatist iconography associated with the Lega Nord political movement of the early 1990s. |

| Additional information |
The "Repubblica del Nord" was a secessionist political movement in northern Italy that gained traction in the early 1990s alongside the rise of the Lega Nord party. This brass piece was produced as a propaganda token rather than an officially sanctioned currency — no such issuing authority existed in law. It circulated as a political statement during a period when the Italian state was being gutted by the Tangentopoli corruption investigations, and northern separatist sentiment was at its peak electoral pressure.
