Obverse lettering SCIP GON BOZ PRIN II DA S 63
Reverse description A rampant lion facing left, boldly struck in high relief at the centre of the field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The lion, a heraldic device long associated with the Gonzaga dynasty and the so-called Tallero del leone coinage, is depicted with flowing mane and raised forepaws in a vigorous, naturalistic style. The surrounding Latin legend NOSTRA ET ANTIQVA INSIGNIA, meaning 'our ancient insignia', runs along the outer rim, affirming the dynastic and heraldic significance of the reverse design.
