| Obverse description | Draped bust of Scipione Gonzaga facing left, with shoulder-length hair and a small pointed beard, wearing elaborate armour with a lace collar and a decorative ribbon tied at the shoulder. The effigy is rendered in high relief in the Italian Baroque engraving tradition. A circumscribed inner circle frames the portrait, with a beaded border enclosing the outer legend. The Latin legend reading SCIP D G DVX SABL S R I E BOZ PRINC ET C runs around the periphery, identifying the ruler as Duke of Sabbioneta and Prince of Bozzolo by the grace of God. |

| Reverse description | Full-length standing figure of Christ, nimbed and draped in flowing robes, facing right and extending keys toward Saint Peter, who kneels before him in supplication on the right side of the field. The scene, referencing the biblical Traditio Clavium, is executed in fine Baroque relief with a small six-pointed star ornament at the base of the inner circle. The date in Roman numerals, MDCXXXIX, appears in the exergue below a horizontal line. The circumferential Latin legend TV ES PETRVS PRAESIDIVM NOSTRVM surrounds the composition within a beaded border. |
