| Obverse description | Left-facing laureate effigy of King Umberto I with a bare neck truncation, rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail. The engraver's name SPERANZA appears incuse near the neck truncation, serving as the artist's signature. The date 1884 is positioned in the exergue below the bust. The surrounding legend arcs along the upper and lateral fields, identifying the monarch and his realm. The overall composition reflects the refined academic style of late nineteenth-century Italian medallic art. |
