To the left, a heraldic eagle with spread wings perches above a circular watermark window, beneath the Savoy crowned shield. The central legend reads 'BIGLIETTO DI STATO A CORSO LEGALE DA CINQUE LIRE' in bold letterpress, set against an intricate guilloche underprint in salmon and blue tones. Designer and engraver credits appear at the lower margin. |
