| Reverse description | A seven-headed hydra depicted in full, occupying the entire coin field, with each serpentine neck rising from a central body and terminating in a distinct dragon head. The creature's body and necks are rendered with elaborate scale and flame-like detailing characteristic of late 15th-century Este heraldic imagery. The hydra, known as the impresa of Ercole I d'Este, fills the field with dynamic energy. The design is enclosed within a beaded border with no legend. |
