Reverse description Within a beaded inner circle, four Gothic uncial letters are disposed symmetrically around a central annulet, forming a cruciform arrangement that references the name and title of the ruler. The outer legend, separated by annulets and punctuation marks, reads S PADVLFVS DE M A T S in uncial Latin script, identifying the issuer as Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, lord of Rimini. Stars and annulet stops punctuate the legend at regular intervals. The design reflects the characteristic medieval Italian seignorial coinage style, with the ruler's name abbreviated and distributed around the field in a manner typical of Romagnol bolognini of the fifteenth century.
