| Obverse description | Uniformed and crowned bust of King Umberto I facing right, wearing a military tunic with epaulettes visible at the truncation. The effigy is rendered in high relief with fine engraving detail to the beard and facial features. The legend UMBERTO I arcs along the left field, while RE D'ITALIA continues along the upper right, all in raised Latin characters. The date 1890 appears in the lower field beneath the bust. A milled border frames the entire design. |
