| Reverse description | Saint Ambrose, patron of Milan, depicted enthroned facing front in episcopal vestments, holding a crozier in his left hand and raising his right hand in the gesture of benediction. The figure is rendered in a stylized Gothic manner consistent with Milanese ecclesiastical iconography of the period. The saint's identity and his association with the co-ruler Giovanni Visconti — who held the archbishopric of Milan — are confirmed by the surrounding inscription. Decorative stops punctuate the legend in the field around the enthroned figure. |
